7,250 Drug Orders Logged: German Trafficking Network Shutdown
A German narcotics operation just got blown open—complete with detailed logs of over 7,000 darknet drug deals. Meth, heroin, coke, and 150,000 pills were found vacuum-sealed and ready for global distribution.
Four individualsthree men and one woman, all German citizens aged 24 to 56were arrested in Bavaria for allegedly packaging and shipping significant quantities of narcotics to destinations worldwide.
The case originated from unrelated data uncovered by the State Criminal Police Office in Thuringia. Using targeted analysis, the Bavarian LKA (BLKA) identified operational links in Bavaria, Thuringia, and North Rhine-Westphalia, revealing a structured network handling logistics and distribution. The hubs were located in the Neuburg an der Donau and Eichstätt regions.
With cooperation from a regional police unit in Ingolstadt and a compliant postal service, multiple outbound packages containing narcotics were intercepted before reaching international recipients.
On February 7, 2025, five properties were raided. Based on pre-approved arrest warrants, BLKA personnelbacked by riot police and local unitstook the suspects into custody. Seized items included 53 kilograms of narcotics: 30kg of meth, 2kg of heroin, 4kg of cocaine, and about 150,000 controlled tablets. Many of the substances had already been prepped in roughly 7,000 vacuum-sealed packages. Estimated resale value: low seven-figure euro range.
The so-called “FARO” unit of the BLKA is continuing the investigation. Initial analysis of confiscated communication tools revealed a detailed operational ledger. At least 7,250 transactions, with corresponding customer data, were documented dating back to April 2024.
Despite what vendors claim, transaction logs are often retained long-term and used in later investigations.
Prosecution is ongoing. The charges of gang-based, commercial-scale trafficking carry a prison sentence of 5 to 15 years under German law.
