VIENNA – From more than 6,300 to 42,610, the number of advertisements under the Narcotics Act has increased in Austria according to the Federal Office of Criminal Police in 2017. Drug-related offenses are also likely to become a problem in Upper Austria

For FPÖÖ club president, Herwig Mahr, "there is already a fire on the roof." He calls for a national approach: one suspect in four is not not Austrian, a mbadive increase has occurred among Afghans In Austria, the increase in offenses is explained by further increases in controls and sales in the darknet, the most commonly used drug being cannabis. [19659003] The police secured 1659 pounds of pro cannabis, about 70 kilograms of heroin, 71.4 kilograms of cocaine, 446,465 ecstasy, 50.3 kilograms of amphetamines and five kilograms of methamphetamine and 633.5 kilos of catholic drug l & # 39; last year. The sharp increase in ecstasy is the result of a major attack in the fall at the Wels terminal, where 404,900 tablets were found.

The police have been making things easier since June 2016

"The number of offenders is alarming. It is therefore urgent to focus on police control, "said Interior Minister Herbert Kickl.The amendment to the SMG, which came into effect on June 1, 2016, has Facilitated the handling of cases involving both the public and private sectors.The targeted actions against drug traffickers in Graz, Bregenz and Innsbruck will be continued About half of the serious crimes reported by the SMG were committed by non-Austrian suspects

One of the major challenges for the police is the sharp increase in illegal narcotics sold by Darknet and shipped by parcel.Mostly, synthetic narcotics have been ordered and shipped.But nevertheless, it shows that the drug trade online does not relocate the street trade.On the other hand, the trade is used on online platforms to buy and sell illicit drugs of higher quality in the street.
