Two vehicles were also confiscated.

Consequences of Drug Trafficking

Drug trafficking has significant consequences for society. It is a common form of undermining. It is associated with violence, extortion, and intimidation. Young people and adults are approached to participate in this. They are drawn into a criminal path from which they find it difficult to escape. The approach to undermining focuses on sustainably disrupting criminal activities, networks, and structures. With the arrest of these suspects, the investigation team aims to disrupt and break criminal careers. By confiscating criminally obtained assets, criminals are hit where it hurts, namely in their wallets.
