authorities in Stuttgart, collaborating with the LKA BW and Customs Inspection Office, announce the apprehension of suspected drug traffickers and the capture of 300 kilograms of cocaine.
In a significant operation on August 28, 2025, the Joint Narcotics Investigation Group (GER) Stuttgart, in collaboration with the Stuttgart Customs Investigation Office, the Baden-Württemberg State Criminal Office, and Greek authorities, successfully disrupted an international drug trafficking network.
The operation, which took place in the area of Süßen (district of Göppingen), resulted in the arrest of three men and the seizure of a large quantity of drugs and cash. The arrested individuals include a 65-year-old Greek driver of the truck, a 26-year-old with Turkish citizenship, and a 28-year-old with German and Turkish citizenship, who were occupants of the escort vehicle.
The investigation originated from a tip from the Greek police regarding an international criminal group planning to smuggle a large quantity of drugs from Spain to Germany by truck. Approximately 300 kilograms of suspected cocaine were seized from one of the truck's tanks during the search, and almost 183,000 euros in cash were found in the escort vehicle.
The drugs were hidden in the truck's tank during the smuggling attempt, and the group's plan to smuggle drugs was thwarted on August 28, 2025, when the trucks and the escort vehicle were stopped in the area of Süßen (district of Göppingen). The arrested individuals are part of an ongoing investigation against an internationally active criminal group.
The Stuttgart Public Prosecutor's Office is leading the investigation. For further information, you can contact First Public Prosecutor Stefanie Ruben at [email protected] or 0711 921-4400. The Baden-Württemberg State Criminal Office's Press Office can be contacted at [email protected] or 0711 5401-2044.
It is important to note that the Spanish port indicated as the origin from which the international drug network intended to ship cocaine, which was detected by investigators in Baden-Württemberg on August 28, 2025, is not provided in the available search results.
This successful operation underscores the importance of close cooperation between international authorities in the fight against drug trafficking.
