Drugs and cash were seized in Encrochat raids in Neukölln and Koepenick on Friday morning.
These specialists fight evil machinations! A SEK stormed the apartment of a suspected drug dealer (24) on Hermannstrasse in Neukölln on Friday morning. Reason are the investigations of the Soko “box”!
There are investigative groups with this name in four police departments. They were named after Pandora’s box. According to Greek mythology, it contained all the evils hitherto unknown to mankind, such as illness, vice and death.
For a long time, the encrypted messenger service Encrochat was considered a box of all evils. Until July 2020, it was the app that the underworld preferred to communicate with and supposedly tap-proof. Until the police cracked the encryption and identified the perpetrators.
