A report from The Independent said local police were tipped off to the pizzeria’s operations in March of 2024. The tip came from suspicious food inspectors who’d recently visited the restaurant in the Old Town area.
Police began an investigation into the restaurant by ordering a #40 special to see if the food inspector’s suspicions were valid…They were. Police raided the apartment of the restaurant’s manager a few days later. In a panic, he began throwing bags out of the window….which landed into the arms of police…literally!
Police recovered 1.6 kilos of cocaine, 400 grams of cannabis, and $290,378 in cash from the manager’s apartment. He was arrested and charged with multiple drug related crimes. The pizzeria immediately closed for business upon word of the manager’s arrest. The manager was bailed out a few days later, and the pizzeria went right back to normal operations. Including the return of the #40 special. Yes, the manager/chef got right back to it! But, so did the police. This time they ran their investigation on the Pizzeria’s drug supplier. After a few weeks of investigating, a task force made up of 150 police officers raided the entire operation, including the 22-year old alleged ringleader. The Pizzeria’s manager was arrested as he attempted to flee abroad.
Police said the 22-year old, who was identified as a Russian citizen, allegedly purchased kilogram quantities of cannabis and cocaine then re-sold them to other dealers in the organization. Police also seized two cannabis plantations with 300 and 60 plants respectively. Germany privacy rules does not allow for naming suspects before they are convicted of a crime.
