Saxony: Trial against "nursery dealer" begins on January 23

Leipzig (dpa / sn) - A Leipziger known as a "children's room dealer" has to answer to the court again for drug trafficking. The trial against the 27-year-old and four co-defendants begins on January 23, as the Leipzig Regional Court announced on Tuesday. From April 2019 to January 2021, the quintet is said to have sold 16.5 kilograms of amphetamine, 2.5 kilograms of hashish, two kilograms of a party drug, 500 grams of methamphetamine and 350 grams of cocaine in and outside of Germany.

The "nursery dealer" was sentenced to seven years in prison in 2015 after admitting to having sold almost a ton of drugs through his online drug exchange. His drug deals, which he made from his childhood home in Leipzig, served as the basis for the Netflix series "How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast)". The first season was released in May 2019.

The chamber has set a total of 18 hearings. A verdict is not expected before the end of June.
