New Lake Wörthersee drug: headache powder instead of heroin

A new narcotic drug is in circulation on Lake Wörthersee. However, it is one that gives criminals less of a headache than conventional drugs. However, one dealer offered the mix to his customers as heroin. Is that actually fraud?

The drug business in the south of Austria is firmly in the hands of foreign organizations that are constantly sending new sellers, mostly Nigerians, onto the streets. If one is caught, the next dealer follows. What is new, however, is that some of them no longer bring any drugs onto the market at all, but "home-made" drugs, which are also not illegal. The public prosecutor's office in Klagenfurt has therefore investigated fraud because heroin was promised but something else was delivered.
