Overview
- Customs officers in Selb, which intercepted the packages on Tuesday, opened the parcels and letters and launched 13 criminal investigations after finding illegal drugs and new psychoactive substances.
- Seized items include 93 g of psilocybin mushrooms, 502 ecstasy tablets (210 g), small amounts of cocaine and crystal, synthetic cathinones, and several blotter papers.
- Officers flagged the consignments with modern X‑ray screening, then uncovered drugs concealed in everyday objects such as birthday cards, a Bluetooth speaker, and product packaging.
- The shipments were traced to origins in the Netherlands with intended onward delivery to the Czech Republic, and authorities say nine cases fall under Germany’s BtMG and four under the NpSG.
- Officials note routine postal controls aim to protect public health and warn that evidence of regular or large‑scale ordering would prompt the Zollfahndungsamt München to assume further investigation.
