A major cocaine discovery has been made at Lidl stores in Berlin and Brandenburg. The customs investigation office reported that a total of 223 kilograms of cocaine was found hidden in banana boxes across eleven Lidl branches. The estimated value of the cocaine is between 10 to 15 million euros, based on a gram price of 50 to 80 euros.
The police in Brandenburg declined to disclose any figures when asked about the discovery, but confirmed that cocaine in the “low three-digit kilogram range” was found. However, they did not specify the exact amount or locations where the drugs were discovered. Meanwhile, a joint investigation group comprising of state criminal investigation offices from Brandenburg and Berlin, as well as the customs investigation office, is actively working on the case.
The drug bust has sparked interest and discussion on various online forums related to cryptocurrency trading platforms. Users are seeking advice on the best platforms for cryptocurrency trading and sharing insights and experiences related to trading cryptocurrencies. The destruction of the cocaine is set for Friday, but it remains unclear how this will impact the ongoing investigation into drug trafficking through Lidl stores.
