celebration when gun size broke out was that you are up to date coming up next to dw documentary looks at the steep price in cocaine consumption in germany. since the time that makes the ground. so that if you can, i mean you can, we cannot keep the ones that you see. so i thought i'd say, well, the cocaine is sweeping through gemini, like, never before. the move in getting cocaine in berlin is as easy as buying cigarettes

available when ever, wherever. and with a numerous profit swimming, he's buying high quality makes you a minimum 100 percent profit for capital. and cocaine is an integral parts of germany's policy seen. it keeps you awake and puts you in a good means. international drug gangs run perfect t organized smuggling networks. the southern system cities. because when the busting us store does not have the full have to drug costs, how seems so powerful? sure your hands them. these are to a, to invest. we can't control this huge flood of cocaine through tech, from 20 to the come germany is on cocaine. what can stop the drug crisis? the through the night to cocaine is this dose of this restless,

big city. guessing it seems easier than ever. dumont is growing and growing. in this foam, we followed the journey of cocaine from cultivation in south america. the smuggling wage violent africa and spain to the dealers and consumers invalid we want to know how the business works. for so socrates a doing about the business and who is profit taking foot? why is cocaine so celebrated in gemini? the visa, hey, days for contain dean is like these to like holding them join us and month they thing dealings over 6 years. i can see how the business is changing the process. i know most of the

industry in this account of 1900 and we're both nowadays, you can do it online and you don't have to be strong or anything anymore. darknet or telegram make it easier. and as a result, many people have recognized the gap in the market and that's simply joined in of cocaine is not stuck in the shadows of the in the upper classes. no one can manage without it compare the lawyers can't. i'm the judges can't this? and policeman's officials are to be seen at all a 100 yards from everybody uses the cocaine has become the coffee of america. and it's now the coffee of the world. a coffee from their guns with a fucking fucking, you've got some top of the phone so can, can boost moved and performance up front. it's no longer just the policy. try the quickest most. put the money also do cocaine during the day when, when cold private problems become too great and to find out and so name or

when i started using contain it still had a positive effect. so i felt good, and course many people get great in ford feeling and feel very alive and very strong. cocaine is a drug that makes you feel a lot of ideas. massey was addicted to cocaine for several years and has only been clean for a few months. she works as a lobbyist and advises politicians, among others is a stressful job. at 1st she, i need to kind of policies, but later she began taking the drug to be more efficient to work. at the time she lost control default to the office. i cut at one point i needed 3 meals a day. on average, i spent 100 to 150 daily. i must have sought up 20 or 30 times a day, at least 5 or 6 times at work. that's and then probably another $10.00 to $15.00 times in the evening. ultimately, you don't even notice it anymore, and it's because it's like eating chips in front of the tv is cocaine use is come

from old. social cost is dealing is illegal, but those who wants to get high in germany have few problems. finding the weather in the club on the streets, in camp rides, home or in the ball, especially in big cities, it's almost ubiquitous. it's becoming increasingly difficult for investigators to mona trafficking on after i miss had just the binding drug squad and sees this as a major problem for gemini. and so with these on with this, you're applying cocaine design. and we've noticed in germany and bullying especially that we have more criminal investigations against people who have it in that position. and in particular, against those who deals with those on know he would go quite an 100.

the several key lows, the c steering arranged, the substance goes to the bar a treat to determine the degree of pure see here we have the 1st results for cocaine. as a rule, anything with more than 80 percent is highly pure. cocaine that stand it yet. standard, not the price of this, and he does this means that the product isn't, is becoming diluted along the distribution chain. interstate not at all. these perspective, the manufacturing is one for another. and because there's an unlimited supply and also no change in the market prices, we have fairly constant prices for cocaine on the black market. and we also have a constant level of ingredients. we're checking in samples, we'd see by the fest and on this means that the market continues to function unchanged. although in some cases, not many tons of being withdrawn from circulation bodies hosting frontier. this

will go as low as appear that contains supply seems to never type in. the portion of hamburg is considered a major gateway in gemini, here customs of slower cheese intercept, growing quantities of contain assigned of how much of the substances in circulation . these are the classic to move packages of cocaine from home was all captured. how well packed and order promot near to go fast, what a success log last. so i'm a fire or the house and the custom seized over 16 tons of cocaine and the port of hamburg states. it's a successful and launch fine time. but customs 16 tons of very few cocaine from paraguay packed intensive potty estimated market

value. several 1000000000 years. the is viable by it's typically it was the largest find of cocaine in europe. either quantities that were on the imaginable just a few years ago. for sam, we were dealing with 2015 q lose the offer today, it's 16. tundra mistakes and tone in the amount of contains seized in gemini is steadily increasing the . but despite all the successful searches cocaine seems on the present. 4 and a half kilos are consumed every day in berlin. as evidenced by residue in the waste . dealers like join us and mac celtic and a few minutes to mount has risen continually since they've been in business

research. marshall one schwartz because i didn't want to because i sorted out something for myself. systems been more and more people came to, oh, you sorted yourselves, so can't you help me? they'd say, then you do that then suddenly loads more. people come so many and then you say for plus you get a minute my that's what happens in most cases, a rabbits over no margins, but normally not with a mask able to trust my life. join us and mux failed to contain comp, seals for the night, the delivery they get about a 100 heroes gram. depending on the quality for you. if you buy high quality, you don't have to be very profit oriented to make 100 percent profit on a capsule. 100 percent of your purchase price is profit. you by 50 years,

a grand sell it for the standard 10100 percent profit. and then you wanna send max, bring the product directly to that customers, homes, not panel drug korea's an illegal business. and yet quite normal in the middle of decisions daily. nice monthly to needed more and more as time went on. could cane is expensive. in some cases she was spending 2000 euros a month. all her savings went on the drug. i switch, i bought a desk, but the amenities clothes on. the other i'm talk is when i realized that with the amount i can see my day, i wouldn't be able to pay the rent next month. that's when i actually realized the extent of it cheaper. but i would have to think of ways of how to get money quickly . and when it became clear to me that i was at the point that i would prostitute myself to get money for drug use. that was already quite,

that's just posted to you and go to okay, it's of a club for the stuff that was already rock bottom for the nation's from this as for my very personal rock bottom. so i personally didn't know how i could seize myself from that. this was what i had left of myself as soon as possible for me is able to fight and con funnelling 3 years on cocaine. now he went in to withdrawal. pedagogy reacted with strong fever like symptoms. she had to regularly cooled down with cold water. she also had to say repeat to overcome the mental dependency as well. now he wants to make it, but the ro, data of addiction is no tons be to echo, to provide psychological care to addicts during that withdrawal. the treatment plan includes regular sessions that to therapy center is charlottesville. health. i'm good. what's that? i put some sizes unemployment from the last week. a friend of mine was invited to

a birthday much to me and asked me if i would like to go. i did not know the birthday girl or other guests at the celebration of the fire companies or license cloud and you didn't realize that there were any situations or opportunities where something might happen or shyness with us yet. no, i did not have funds or fund goes, i tried to and did it. she cute, did you leave as we practiced across the 10 year and yeah, yeah, we practiced that when i realized what was happening, i sat there for about 10 minutes and then i knew that i had to go. i told my friend and she reacted immediately. and also last hasn't always good gardeners to sit on it and try. did you later regret your decision not to consume names enough? no. and that was the 1st estimate of the other times i did regardless of that, but not this time and this quiz. and so fabulous via s. cocaine is so harmful because it makes you

as the person affected depend such that you can no longer complete the task that are worth while to you. because you want to consume all the time is finished. now to understand all still and can i say the answer tech comes from the university. in those times of consumption. most female patients withdraw socially to a large degree and teen and under no longer reachable a tall and garbage spare. otherwise, the once he's become an addict to, it's hot, only about one such succeed in pushing permanently, all the others relapse, the damage to people, and society is a numerous the from south america contain travels on life of the world on its way to consume as it can become increasingly impure and expensive. the product

suite to europe is either direct or via africa. that deliveries often change hands in west african states, may speak any personnel or nigeria to substances transported by container on ships white at all inside the body of the smuggler. discussing pricing, columbia is around $3000.00 euros, a t as in jim and a d as charge more than 10 times. that's the, the canyon city of mombasa, the with the largest pools in east africa, a new drug trafficking rates has recently developed a heroine from asia and cocaine from latin america. now often take this route to europe. and for good reason. the canyon coast is, you know, and poorly monitored. the,

we're on our way to a sub. i had this monassa where african drug cartels operate. the we need to smoke last sweet school demetrius. he belongs to a canyon drug cartel and wishes to remain anonymous. this conversation is dangerous to everyone. it could cost him his nice. that is a lot of fun music on be just keep nothing. they can be good and also my life by doing menu rates. for the past 4 years, interest has been smuggling drugs to you refund asia, including cocaine as a meal. before you go to parking lot fee recorded

material, you're pointing the side of that point on business level security by slowing lucky enough, she woke up not eaten any for reach of my cd and let me reach him to play. you just drink water and they give you for the pretend to be recording. if they assume that i'm not getting sick with the guns i spoke to me about the get the you'll see of 30 to the airport before you book this gunning machine. the person who is waiting to opposite of duck going to be taken by the vehicle dot com and go to the 10. so dr. gun stuff, this funding system is very risky because then be busting the store. but they do it because i need money and stuff with my funding. a

smuggle, cocaine typically ends up in gem and clubs via dean is guessing. policy goes high. but the road here is no and extremely dangerous smugglers like you dressed with getting course and going to jail every time they travel. but once you're in the system, escaping is near impossible. that way into that system because no, i cannot get out. the door is going to send someone to come on, keeping up the fun with your team because they believe when you get ultimately think the information for the community. i just it does not more of the product because i know i'm affecting a lot of my job. sometimes they have it. it does come from my

eyes, but i cannot do anything just to be important because the interest knows exactly which rates the nonce quantities of cocaine take from east africa to europe, toyota of 30, think some stuff to go to transport them. they do it again. often and did it goes to the police, the model, the or the passport using this machine booked on the eastern, comes on the ok now. so done some done cartoon of talk to me with this. i thought that through that is that using been coming, elizabeth this felicia or the model of the exclusive davis from lenient that concepcion in southern spain. the city is considered the gateway for drug

smuggling between africa and dia rep. in the 1970s drug traffic is made the straits of 2 belt as a european bass for 50 is the trade. it has been primarily and has she's but now there's a new business cocaine. and i just want to seize, arrive at the port of i have seen us. we have an appointment with mike. he works for one of the largest narcotics contents in spain. we've reached him off to adjust it for such and through various contacts that have let us deeper and deeper into the fray. mike organizes the logistics that drugs can be support unnoticed before that distributed own i. the europe. his salary is $200000.00 euros a month. he a he talks to the media for the 1st time, doing his incoming i think

a by the most the he or someone who make sure that the container is not in the register. as soon as possible. the goods leave the port in a truck and it was in going to sort of what the then it's taken to a safe storage place to see what i'm doing. i got to go with it. i see to it that the goods come out of the port and are taken to a safe place. so you're not as long as you just say what they want. that's where the customers come and pick them up and usually taking them to the coast. once a year of a little of every yes, thousands of kilos of cocaine arrive at the port of i see it us. mike knows exactly how much, but he went, say mazda log into the games. it's more than people think it's less than the money . this is my identity and so i won't give you numbers of it, but it's more than people realize. all right, one of the about not on another task, i'm one of the so you don't just like the bananas come in for the oranges shoes at

the end of the day. it's a business like any other. and if there's demand, you have to be there to serve it. let's see what i am, the one thing my, the smaller independent games that transport cocaine by spe, one us know. but what am i talking about? you know, that also works. but the most common and safer way is by container. so that's everybody's got us. and sometimes it tells you speed, but it's to transport more than $280.00 tons of drugs, including cocaine every month on the 14 kilometer straight separating spain in the real cause. carlos post a swat is works for spanish customs. he's preparing for an operation, a night patrol to detect smugglers from america on the strength of japan. delta is no sign common for customs and police officers to chase down smugglers. often they escaped because they take great to risk and try foster carlos and his colleagues

have prepared for anything. the see we carry weapons and sometimes we do use them if not frequent, rather rare actually. but they can be used in these facilities, but it's clear that when they are used, it's only as a deterrent to stop them when they're making very dangerous maneuvers. it's an elaborate and expensive sites. in 2018 spain launched a security plan to tackle illegal drug smuggling. in mid 2020, its budget was increased by 48200000 euros. although arrests have increased, the problem is still fall from under control. cano

says radar indicates movement for safety reasons. we turn off the cabin lights and what does that mean for save it? okay, they will and detected a possible turn it on radar way. that means less and you know, it's very things you mean, but something is moving or preparing for anything to possibly. i said, what can i do order and then when it was gonna continue moving in there. here we can see that it's moving the new approach slowly and prepare in case that the smuggler and not carlos into his team. pickup speed crossing the ocean at a 100 kilometer has an hour something is there, but okay. mm. okay

. it has no life. okay . we lost it, it was a false alarm, but we have to check everything. we'll get the model. let's see. so rough, it's hard to distinguish between ways and a possible target, the possible. so this is what is. sometimes there are choices and it's not easy to stay calm and keep your cool enough man of us. and we can get a bit dicey though to for safety always comes 1st on deputy and to in other words,

staying alive is more important than catching the smugglers. police officers estimate the top 10 speed, but spring drugs. the show here every night 2 to 3 times a week, they can track down and convict smokeless films here by the spanish civil gods. the deals ortiz also often make large contain finds in the course of, of his data. in early 2022 to tons of cocaine was found in a container declared as frozen as time. both ortiz are primarily concerned with tracking down the people behind it. here police are preparing for a rage. they allow us to accompany the dangerous operation. oh yes,

i'm already sending a de, we start to know permission to tackle money a long drive and we'll carry have 6 rates and we'll tediously then the problem says of how these malika. here we go. we start with a colleague system, the buildings of the special unit. this is an area with use unemployment high as an 80 percent. the average wage is 1050 euro so months in just one day, smugglers can and several 1000 to years. and so more or more young people getting involved in the legal drug business style. another thing that we never know who will find behind the door eat, i'm gonna get the danger is always in the analogies. am and usually things turn out well, but there have been cases where we have run into dangerous situations. some even involving gunfire. 100, obviously,

the regular rates are intended to dismantle the criminal structures. there was several raids like this one at least 2 days a week. the amendments just before the rate of the most dangerous, we stay back the the operation goes smoothly. the suspect is arrested without resistance. the next step is to search the place with infinity view, a cycle here, the naturally we've recovered money and we live within 6000 euros. and so they think of a metal. we also find a large pool of 56 meters. but that was that name,

that the was under a cabinet so it was very likely intended as a hiding place. okay, towing. that's the way that we'll see. you say cycle here in the trial we document everything important so that there is clear evidence. somebody who is here and i think also in the fact is that that'd be so this is a bi smuggling with cocaine and money laundering. been been men, which is to say that the drug trafficking because of every dollar, both of them and you see the, i think it's a huge asset by the coast guard and the police. and yet nadine yet remains a gateway to europe for how she and cocaine, nowhere in europe, a more narcotic seized in spain with its thousands of colors, inches of maritime coast bordering the mediterranean and atlantic. the many 50 tons of cocaine was seized by spanish authorities in spain in 2020 allowed yet. that's just a drop in the ocean deal. if anyone has got a legal, dana eh,

the cocaine business is running the world by anything, by the government. you buy what you need to buy and the people you need to buy to make your business run well. because it's so much money people get involved in that off at some of the expensive neighborhoods in the ninette didn't exist until a few years ago when the residents money comes from is an open secret the push of rush to them, the knowledge is to deep poor to poor senior rep, millions of containers the handles here every year. and it's impossible to check each one for contraband. and that's what the last large quantities of cocaine and being intercepted here with increasing frequency. we made customs offices in that daily work. for security reasons, we not revealing the names, they're on their way simona to the containers using a brand new procedure,

the number of containers check t a has increased 10 fold. the individual contain is a no longer open this before. instead, an assumption is taken unsecured data doke, skin efficiency checks the samples without having to be led to each container. or some of these techniques, it is of course, my 3 me is a very container. we only need 3 minutes per container to extract the air. normally it takes much longer the field so now we can check many more containers like the local, the whole thing now even works on the board of shit and i have no control across the bridge and get irritated each container they are 2 degrees and then goes the team was that good just to go through, then we take it to the control station with adult can work and piece you can imagine that the dog has to do here between the containers and the noise is more

difficult. the end of march specific and the order settling the cost involves this um, as long as of both adults can then recognize the smell. depending on what kind of sniffer dokie use them all the way from what he is trained to do at the custom station, the samples that were opened for the dog. the scenarios, the dog to check 6 containers samples that once in the shortest possible time. it's a game changer for international customs officer cheese, the, the dog signals that he seems to have smelled, and of course, heck, the suspicious container is the actual now will. so x ray, with immobile x rays system, the limit of sidney posts across the next couple. investigate the dogs check was positive,

meaning we need confirmation, so it goes to the mobile scan. but here it turns out that the container is negative after all. so the journey can continue. now, as i said of him till night of the sip of a lot of the, the nights is the most dangerous time at the port. the customs officers don't take a break. so socially of as you know, several suspicious ships arrives in our sector today. and you go to the last the but we are expecting people to return to pick up drugs from the port i saw that social associate is. this is when we are the set to our music though, we're talking about one of the larger container companies this way. it's a name, it is likely that they will try to lead the port to specific route, but you have to go with a lot of other overpower. so let's keep our eyes open and see if we can spot. anyone come with those. if there's only camera surveillance as online, people are standing fine. basically, we're good to go. are there any questions over? is there any more info?

now this has been a goal with who lives the 3 ships have a very high priority. we assign something, they are more often than mount supposedly not so you know, but we have to work with us all we have over. yeah. let's go, let's go. every shipment that brings cocaine into the pool to attract smugglers who come to pick up the goods. tens of thousands of heroes is said to be paid for such an operation. the customs office is trying to track them down day and night. now we go to mosque locked us. that's where all big container ships and terminals are in important place for inspections. will relieve the night shift about the 1st thing we do with patrol the relevant areas. we look to see if there

are any irregularities in which people are there because of course, we're available for the control center and keep our eyes and ears open. today it's quiet. the customs offices use the time for an exercise that we're hosting interest. it's important to always be prepared to take this for ex, 900 delta wayne dot and elliot road direction. malik a router and stop sign to my locker room. the 93 tracks straight ahead and the customs officers get down to inspect the vehicle. maybe they bring your drivers license, you can take it with you. good

afternoon. sand here. what are you doing here? this our work here. working busy of the? yeah, yeah, a lot of work on your hands and i see your hand spread your arm so you are under arrest. in accordance with narcotic small turnaround on your knees. colleagues, the risk for narcotics in your mouth. arbitrarily. power and spread most everything always goes this smoothly. the customs officers sees the cane in the trunk before passing in tone to the also ortiz of the us kind of low in our

laboratory as a sample is tested to determine whether it really is cocaine. i'm not allowed to say how often this happens, but i can say that we've already sees 50000 t lows this year. but the, the, the search for drugs is like finding a needle in a haystack. in europe. knowledge is deep multiple, which is nearly impossible to find everything despite the most modern methods will always be a catch. and most game we find drugs and we take someone i took circulation by then other players finding new ways to smoking the drugs into the country again. and that's how we always go on dates. what is changing? nichols is a spiral into violence or tracking day more and more narcotics, and this is also intensifying that resistance. defiant is getting more and more

graceful as power along with billions of euros and profits are at stake. every year people are killed in the netherlands. in summer 2021, a journalist became a victim of the drug mafia and ended up come to school and that is the slow. i'm the one of the countries. that's not journalist. how has been done done in broad daylight in amsterdam, the eldest peter artist, previously fighting for his life to shield the 64 year old was considered an adult or in the field of the organized crime was indeed one moment visiting the at the moment. we know he's fighting for his light source. i nice crime report to deface dies on the side lines of on the trial against 1000000000 ad drug traffic because he was a media or advisor to a key witness. the murder shows that the cartels in the netherlands will stop at nothing. tobacco for supremacy on the contain market does not stop at the bonus. the dreadful seems to have arrived in europe.

hobbin huffman is a criminal and a just and research is cocaine trafficking at maastricht university. he's shocked by the developments right on his doorstep. and there's things to need along the time of the suffice because to have them and to see it is what's going on. child, i think the netherlands is the best example of the moment where you see how a trunk key please, an escalating conflict of a drug complete can become unbelievably brutal locus. what do you see, how such a conflict is carried out, is on the open, straight left glass. so here in the netherland, yet, you have about $20.00 to $30.00 ss a nationwide per year on the open street. this ties the stick with often with automatic weapons of, of nice guy, so bystanders smith are also hit sometimes because of then you have to see in germany too that there is the danger of a similar open conflict will arise at some point side of some of the conflict that

has not yet taken place to see if something is such a personalization that the phone, but it cannot be real diagnosis, that this will be the case. sometimes if i get the gemini is also increasingly affected by a seemingly relentless desire for cocaine testing cap had to go into is the health policies. folks pass into the green body and gemini, she sees the fight against cocaine imports. this having failed to one best use of course we have a situation in which this huge flood of cocaine is no longer possible to control their check. the security authorities, the police, the traditional erie, are always behind the curve to finish dog and of my hundreds read it. so friends, organized crime is extremely resourceful in finding new traffic in when do you do conflict controls and basically fail because you had to be and victorian and lets

me, i'm and, and i think the development in recent years with the increasing numbers of cocaine confiscations is very dangerous. i think the best example is another look as simple as we see what such an organ conflict can look like. i'm in the area of drug related crimes. i see the one kind of has to be said this as a all based on cocaine, who is, if there is a lot of talk about canada, is coming up. but ultimately, cocaine has led to this brutalization because the profits are correspondingly large inch question cause isn't critic, say the state needs to track down honda that's commercial drug trafficking already carries the penalty of up to 15 years in prison. however, with profit margins of more than a 100 percent, clearly doesn't scare dealers like us a month. it's been me, it's because so if we're caught now we wouldn't say a word and would wait until our lawyer arrived. he would take care of everything,

even if they can initiate any kind of proceedings. it rarely comes to a conviction that because it has been negotiated down to personal use, we have good lawyers. why should my life be worth less than some students? you know, just because he was encouraged in the past and brought up by his parents of those. yeah. ok. i don't, i didn't have that for me. there was no push to go to school. i don't know if there was an outside or in school problems which why should i earn less than society's most accomplished though? you know, so just the whole, it is precisely these high honors who need the drugs. we need some dirt which we need. they need something in the end, they come to people like me because of it is just because they were born in a better part of society social class. and because that's of why should i settle for less? because i didn't choose where i was born without the lower class. nothing works for the top or to we are the foundation isn't just one moment. the curtain is

booming, business is booming. the moment is high. cocaine is becoming the people's drug and it still has a good image. despise whole, the media reports about drug cartels unless you have on the addict. like know what's in lie. this is additional so ways possible to get house and waiting for you for the way for their tools to come. this is may i ask who i'm getting off the drug? i think that's more than just the struggle native them. so that's like a little more sharply because it's just everywhere that box and that was so hard. i hope i never forget that. so that it never happens to me again. you know, my prestige has been clean for a year now. she wants her story to serve as a warning against the seduction. a dangerous, if the drug which seems to flood gemini as

a more on check the rug, the environment. trends, technologies come is digitalization tops new market, new media. the world is accelerating. seize the opportunity to tell me is to try new things. take slides, we see that we use business magazine made in germany. in 30 minutes on the w. rushes floor of the question on ukraine has raged for 2 years. 2 years of people being separated from the families and have some defend the country on the

funds while others are trying to start over in a foreign country living either in constant danger, home sickness and then so essentially focus on humans in 90 minutes, dw, the nice to be at the end of the world. how's it going to be difficult to access an expedition ventures on to places that no one has the why is the ice melting signage research in the i
