The role of the BKA
The fight against internationally organized drug crime remains a central task of the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA). These worrying developments show how important a coordinated approach is to act against the crimes that violate the Narcotics Act and also cause violent attacks. The increase in global drug production also means that the offer on the German market remains continuously high, which raises alarming future prospects.
The drug crime not only contains challenges for the civil servants, but also represents a significant threat to internal security in Germany and the EU. The BKA has strengthened the compliance with the law in the area of the Narcotics Act (BTMG) and the combat of illegal drugs on the Internet and is indispensable to counteract the dangers that work out of this network.
The current investigations and arrests underline that the fight against drug trafficking is still intensively conducted and cooperative measures are of great importance at regional and national level. The pressure on drug mafia remains high, and the police are optimistic to achieve further success in the fight against drug trafficking.
