Munich Police Probe Neuhausen Pharmacy Worker Over No-Prescription Drug Sales

A court-approved search that yielded cash-register data triggered a probe under Germany's drug law.

Overview

  • Munich police are investigating a 59-year-old employee accused of dispensing prescription-only drugs without valid prescriptions from a Neuhausen pharmacy.
  • An early August tip alerted the Kriminalpolizei to alleged unlawful sales from within the pharmacy.
  • On August 13, officers executed a large-scale search of the business premises after a warrant from the Amtsgericht München.
  • Investigators from Kommissariat 84 secured data from the pharmacy’s cash-register system for analysis.
  • The pharmacy has not been publicly identified, the suspect was released after police measures, and authorities view the case as part of broader prescription-fraud probes in Germany.
