Captagon im Wert von 60 Millionen Euro gefunden

 


Ermittler haben die bisher größte Menge an Captagon in Deutschland sichergestellt - Verkaufswert etwa 60 Millionen Euro. Die Droge wird vor allem in Syrien und dem Libanon in illegalen Fabriken hergestellt.

Zwei Dinge überraschten die Ermittler des Zollfahndungsamtes (ZFA) Essen an diesem Oktobertag besonders: die Menge und die Professionalität. In einem Garagenkomplex an der Autobahn bei Aachen hatten sie gerade 300 Kilogramm Captagon sichergestellt.

Am selben Tag wurden vier Tatverdächtige im Raum Aachen verhaftet - Syrer im Alter von 33 bis 45 Jahren, darunter ein Mann, der zuletzt in Wien gemeldet war. Alle vier sind seither in Nordrhein-Westfalen in Untersuchungshaft.

Gemeinsam mit Funden in den vergangenen Monaten an den Flughäfen Köln/Bonn und Leipzig/Halle, für die auch die vier Tatverdächtigen verantwortlich sein sollen, summiert sich der Fund auf 460 Kilogramm Captagon.

Nach Recherchen von BR, MDR, SWR, RBB, gemeinsam mit der "Frankfurter Allgemeinen Zeitung" und der Mediengruppe Bayern sind es insgesamt 3,2 Millionen Tabletten mit einem Straßenverkaufswert von rund 60 Millionen Euro.

Die Schmuggler hatten den Großteil der Tabletten aus dem Fund bei Aachen zwischen 16 Tonnen Sand versteckt, der säckeweise auf Paletten gestapelt war. "Es waren normale Sandsäcke aus dem Baumarkt, original bedruckt", sagt Ermittlungsleiter Andreas B. *) später im Interview.

"Die Täter haben die Captagon Säcke in diesen Sandsäcken verpackt und haben sie dann in einer äußeren kleinen Schicht Sand eingebettet. Sodass bei einem äußerlichen Betrachten der Säcke, auch wenn man die befühlt hat, keine Tabletten festzustellen waren."

Denver Broncos’ Limitations Exposed In Blowout Loss To Detroit Lions

Image
  The 2023 Denver Broncos have been a nice story, but their limitations were vastly exposed in a national television blowout defeat to the Detroit Lions. After starting out the season 1-5, the Broncos had been the hottest team in the NFL, winners of six of their past seven games — tied for most in the league — and in prime position to clinch a playoff spot in the AFC. While those hopes remain alive even after their humbling loss to the Lions — they face three losing teams in the AFC to close out the season, the lowest strength of schedule in the NFL at .341 — much of the confidence built over the past two months evaporated following a flat-out dominating defeat at the hands of a good — but not great — Lions squad. Without a lead and a stout running game to lean on, the Broncos’ offense was lethargic, completely shut out in the first half. Russell Wilson’s limitations were on display, going just 4-of-10 for 69 yards, mustering just 3.1 yards per offensive play and going for 1-6 on third

Sam Curran concedes 30 from one over in England's latest defeat by West Indies

Image
  Twenty-one months ago, England’s 10-wicket defeat in the spice island, which took the Test side’s run to one victory in 17 games, deepened the team’s malaise. It also proved the catalyst for the remarkable changes that have followed. The mood around the white-ball set-up is far from as grim as for the Test side in March last year - and, given the array of new faces, it could be said that this rebuild has already begun. But as England once again failed to match West Indies’ power in Grenada, falling to a ten-run defeat, it meant that Jos Buttler’s side have now claimed just four victories in 14 games across both limited-overs formats since the start of October. Unless this run improves on Saturday, England face a fourth consecutive   series loss to West Indies   – this would be the second in T20, to go with one apiece in Tests and one-day internationals – in the Caribbean since the start of 2022. England defeats in the Caribbean have traditionally been authored by pace. Here, their fa

Author Hanif Kureishi on life-changing injuries: My privacy is gone

  Kureishi is reportedly still unable to use his arms or legs and has spent the last year in five different hospitals. Hanif Kureishi has said his sense of self and privacy have been “completely eradicated” after a fall on Boxing Day in Rome last year. The 69-year-old British author and playwright spoke to BBC Radio 4’s Today programme as he guest edited the show on Tuesday, a year after sustaining life-changing injuries. According to the programme, Kureishi is still unable to use his arms or legs and has spent the last year in five different hospitals. Recording the show at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in London, Kureishi said he feels like an “exhibit” being surrounded by doctors who see him as “a thing”. He added: “It is humiliating at the start and then you begin to realise that it doesn’t really matter. “You realise quite quickly that your body doesn’t belong to you any more… that you are changed, washed, poked and prodded by nurses and doctors, random people all the ti
