Plainclothes police officers visited the kiosk near the English Garden and bought drinks. During a conversation about SIM cards, the operator offered to ‘get already registered cards as well.’ When an officer remarked that you could get ‘everything’ from him, the man laughed and replied: ‘Yes, also white and green’ – code for cocaine and marijuana.
The officers acted ‘positively surprised’ and pretended to want to buy cocaine. They left the kiosk under a pretext to call for backup. During a search, police seized nearly three grams of cocaine and 53 grams of marijuana.
The Munich district court sentenced the kiosk operator to one year and two months in prison, suspended, for ‘trafficking in narcotics and cannabis.’ The defendant confessed to repeatedly selling drugs and said he had become addicted to cocaine himself. The court considered the confession, remorse, and lack of prior convictions as mitigating factors, but saw the commercial nature of the trade and the not insignificant amount of marijuana as aggravating. The kiosk has since become insolvent and its operations have ceased.
