German Pizzeria Busted for Selling Cocaine with Pizza Orders

Düsseldorf police dismantle drug ring after uncovering cocaine sales disguised as pizza orders at a local restaurant.

The pizzeria in Düsseldorf's old town offered a 'Number 40' pizza that secretly included a side of cocaine, becoming one of its best-selling items.
Authorities were alerted by food inspectors in March, leading to a police investigation that uncovered the scheme.
During initial raids, police seized 1.6 kilograms of cocaine, 400 grams of cannabis, and €268,000 in cash from the manager's apartment.
The investigation led to the arrest of three suspects, including a 22-year-old alleged ringleader, and the discovery of two cannabis plantations.
The pizzeria manager was rearrested while attempting to flee the country and remains in custody as part of the ongoing investigation.
