It’s about hidden coke, roaring cars and the question of how to get back a rolling drug bunker that accidentally ends up in the police depot, inconspicuously, with the cocaine, of course. Nicole Selzam is not to be envied as the presiding judge of the 29th criminal division, because she is supposed to shed light on the case that is being heard at the Munich I district court.
Barzan A. wears a floral shirt and keeps grinning at his girlfriend Yagmur A. The 24-year-old sits next to him on the dock, her hair braided into two girly braids on the back of her head. The third in the group is Yaren Ö., Undercut, 25 years old and unemployed. They are all accused of being an accomplice in armed dealing with narcotics in large quantities.
Barzan A. most recently worked in a dry cleaner’s and on the first day of the hearing he is the only one who apparently also wants to ease his conscience. “You already have court experience anyway,” the judge encourages him when he gives his personal details for the record. At least its federal central register lists 13 entries.
What defense attorney Thomas Pfister finally says on behalf of his client Barzan A. does not really sound conclusive. On August 26 last year he was traveling with his girlfriend in a white Mercedes AMG in Sendling. A friend followed in another car. “I wanted to go to Yaren Ö. to buy cocaine,” the accused claims. However, the roaring engines caught the attention of the police, they suspected a forbidden car race on the Mittlerer Ring and pursued the cars.
After attempts to get the car back, the police pricked up their ears
Barzan A. escaped and drove the Mercedes to the meeting point for the drug deal in a garage on Passauerstrasse. There, he now explains in court, Yaren Ö. hid almost 800 grams of cocaine in his white Mercedes. However, the public prosecutor’s office assumes in their indictment that the drugs were already in Barzan A.’s car and that he therefore fled. Based on a tip, the police secured the car in the garage – and had it towed to the depository.
Now the trio is said to have tried to get their hands on the drugs worth a good 60,000 euros. First, there is said to have been an unexplained attempt to break into the depositary. Then Yaren Ö. the police, stated that he was the driver of the white AMG. However, the police secured the wrong car, he drove the alleged race with another, identical car. That’s why he wanted the towed car back. The police probably pricked up their ears and discovered the drugs in the car. Pepper spray was also found in the car. He bought it for his girlfriend’s defense, claims A. The trial is scheduled to end in September.
