Approximately 20 kilograms of marijuana, 10.5 kilograms of cocaine, three kilograms of hashish, 1.1 grams of speed, and 70,540 euros in cash were seized.

First Arrest After Deal in Vienna-Meidling

Already on November 25, a 30-year-old Croatian citizen was arrested in an apartment in Vienna-Meidling. He is said to have conducted a drug deal there. Three buyers were reported.

The following day, six more arrests of men aged between 21 and 38, who according to the police are from Serbia and Bosnia, took place. Three were arrested at noon in an apartment in Floridsdorf, and another three in the afternoon in an apartment in Brigittenau.
