Challenge accepted? Germany steps up against organized crime
In the early hours of 25 April 2024, employees of a well-known supermarket chain in southern Berlin made a startling discovery: while unpacking a delivery of bananas, they came across several packages containing white powder.
They were not the only ones. Over the course of the day, similar loads were found in six other supermarkets owned by the same company in Berlin and four supermarkets in the surrounding state of Brandenburg. That afternoon, the authorities announced that the white powder was in fact cocaine, and that 200 kilograms of the substance had been seized in the seven Berlin supermarkets alone.
