Their supposed immunity did not help them. Two Mongol diplomats were filmed by the Dresden Central Customs Office. Direct hit: They had 70 kilos of heroin worth three million euros in the car! Despite valid diplomatic passports, the public servants will have to answer for this..
As the customs investigation office announced on Wednesday, officials were on the morning of May 3 on the A17 near the departure Bad Gottleuba on the watch. As a car with diplomatic plates passed by, the customs officers decided to carry out a „non-suspicious control“.
They stopped the diplomats. The two Mongols initially thought they were safe. They pulled out their badges, refused to search their car. But the customs officers knew their stuff, checked out the diplomats at the Foreign Office in Berlin.
As BILD learned, the diplomats had accredited themselves and their car only for Turkey. For Germany her diplomatic status and consequently her immunity (protection from prosecution) did not apply!
„During the subsequent inspection of the car, the customs officers found two suitcases in the trunk of the vehicle with a total of 140 packages of 500 grams of heroin each. The street sales value of the drug amounts to at least three million euros, „said customs spokesman Frank Schröter.
Car and drugs were seized, the diplomats arrested. They are now in custody.
