Classic Christmas tree decorations include tinsel, balls and wooden figures.

In England a drug dealer has a very different idea.

Liverpool - Christmas time is often contemplative.

People enjoy the holidays with their families.

Most households in Germany eat a lot, and there are gifts for young and old under the brightly decorated Christmas tree.

The whole thing was a bit boring for an English man, he had his very own idea of ​​a festively decorated Christmas tree.

The Liverpool police published a photo of the Christmas tree of the drug dealer Marvin Porcelli on Twitter *.

Instead of garlands and balls, however, he had hung banknotes and cocaine packages on the tree as Christmas decorations.

"Can you imagine our surprise when we searched the cell phone of drug dealer Marvin Porcelli and found this?" Wrote Merseyside Police on Twitter to the post showing the detainee's Christmas tree.

"We caught Porcelli as part of Operation Overboard, which is very fitting, because that's how we would describe the Christmas decorations he recorded with his cell phone (what's wrong with a nice spruce tree with a few simple balls and tinsel?)", it went on.

The English term “to go overboard” can be translated into German as “overdo it”.

Indeed, a fitting classification of the somewhat crazy decoration of the Christmas tree by the arrested Porcelli.

English police succeed in striking drug dealers - several years imprisonment imposed

The main culprit was even given 18 years, the judge sentenced the nine defendants to a total of 89 years in prison.

Previously, drug investigators had investigated a total of eleven people for more than a year.

In addition, the officers discovered drugs worth the equivalent of over 1.5 million euros, as well as firearms.

Meanwhile, another Christmas tree decoration caused laughter on the Internet *.
