A 44-year-old man from Klagenfurt had been dealing cannabis for years and was making considerable sums of money. After extensive investigations, the police tracked down the dealer and carried out a house search.

The time had come at the beginning of August: with a court warrant, the Einsatzgruppe zur Bekämpfung der Straßenkriminalität (ESG) and the Cobra task force carried out a house search in Klagenfurt. "16 kilograms of cannabis and one kilo of cannabis resin were seized in the apartment," reported the police. "The 44-year-old was at home at the time and was arrested."

Cash, gold and silver
A number of valuables were also seized during the operation. "In addition to cash amounting to several tens of thousands of euros, the officers also found gold and silver", confirmed the police. They also found a soft air pistol. 

"During interrogation, the man confessed that he had sold a good 50 kilograms of cannabis and cannabis resin since 2020. He made part of his living from the profits," said the police. "The cash seized came from the sales." The origin of the drugs is still unknown - further investigations are now underway.
