Cologne drug war: hostage -touser talks about missed paternity

Cologne drug war: hostage -touser talks about missed paternity

On Wednesday, a shocking process continued in the Cologne Regional Court, which illuminates the dark side of drug trafficking in the region. Three Dutch are suspected of being members of a notorious drug gang and are the focus of the judiciary for torture and hostage -taking. The defendants are said to have blackmailed information about the robbery of 350 kilos of marijuana from a warehouse in Hürth, which represents the first direct confession in connection with the so -called "Cologne drug war". Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger reports that Sudnyson B.

Without much feather reading, Sudnyson B. described the circumstances that led to it ended up behind bars. He had missed the birth of his son and this should be the greatest punishment for him. Apparently he was hired for a job of 2000 euros to put pressure on possible thieves. However, whether he really didn't know what to expect in Germany remains questionable because he was part of the brutal tactics of the gangs.

brutal approach

According to the statements by the public prosecutor, Sudnyson B. and his accomplices put their victims in an inconspicuous warehouse in Hürth and brutally abused. This is said to be using objects to blackmail the most necessary information. However, Sudnyson B. denied extreme violence like the pulling of ten stails. An indispensable turn in the process came as Dhelmar B., co -accused, who recognized the hostage -taking but stated that he had acted under pressure and great debt.

This current return to terrible crimes is seen in the context of growing drug crime in Germany. In June 2024, the defendant weight in the range of 700 kilograms of marijuana, which they captured by torture and hostage -taking. An example of the unscrupulous brutality, which is now part of the drug trade, where even explosions and shots fell, accompanied by a collapse of rival gangs. ZDF today reports on these incidents and the associated tragic consequences.

a big problem for society

As the EU Commission now wants to do with a new timetable against drug trafficking and organized crime, shows how serious the situation is. Drug trade is considered one of the largest security threats for the EU, and the plan includes 17 measures to combat criminal networks. This initiative is accompanied by the increasing threat of organized crime, which is also becoming increasingly alarming for the Cologne scene. EU representation informed about the strategies that should apply by 2025.

The deadly complications in the drug war could not only influence the future of the accused, but also those circles from which they come. Young men from precarious circumstances put their lives into play for little money. The security authorities are concerned with concern the phenomenon of the "Crime AS A Service", whereby criminal structures operate in a way that almost industrially seems.

The question remains how society can deal with these challenges. Is it succeeding to combat the roots of this violence, or does it remain a tragic part of Cologne reality? One thing is certain: a lot will have to be done to break through the spiral of violence in drug trafficking.
