Landsberg – A woman from Landsberg was caught with 70 grams of cocaine on the A8 near Wendlingen.

Before the lay judge in Landsberg, she now claimed that she had possessed this large amount of drugs only for her own use.

Together with her husband, she consumed five grams a day.

She also claimed to have received significant sums of money from him for drug purchases.

When the 34-year-old was caught by customs investigators in a motorway parking lot around ten o'clock in the evening on December 19, 2020, she was traveling in a rented jeep.

Presiding judge Katrin Prechtel wanted to know why a rental car when her husband ran a driving school.

But the accused and her husband have reportedly been separated since May 2020.

He is now believed to be abroad.


The woman from Landsberg was accused, among other things, of illegal trafficking in narcotics.

She denied this accusation.

"I've never sold anything and didn't intend to." However, cocaine is expensive - a gram costs 60 to 70 euros.

In the past, the accused claims to have spent 50,000 euros on drug purchases.


"It's crazy what sums are at stake here," said Judge Prechtel.

"Where did the money come from if not from sales?" The 34-year-old said she got it from her husband.


Then, however, there were problems in the driving school, salaries were no longer paid, claimed the accused, who was employed as an office worker in her husband's company.

She didn't get any money for three quarters of a year.

Debt slips found on her related to those wage demands - not drug sales, as the prosecution suspected.


After separating from her husband, the 34-year-old claims to have gotten into a kind of dependent relationship with a former partner.

She had a relationship with the 50-year-old from 2011 to 2015.

She also got drugs from him.

"But that's not a good friend if he gives you drugs," judge Prechtel stated, especially since the accused apparently had to undergo chemotherapy during this time.

"He did it so I wouldn't bump into weird people and not overdo it," the 34-year-old claimed.

Together with the 50-year-old yacht builder, she went to Hanover three times to buy cocaine.


In February 2021, the 34-year-old and the 50-year-old were caught in a traffic check by the Landsberg police.

Both were under the influence of drugs, said one of the investigating officers.

In the car - a Seat that the woman had rented - they found 1.9 grams of cocaine and other small amounts of drugs, a baton, two knives and crack pipes.

The apartments of the two and the property of the driving school owner were then searched.


There was no evidence of drug use, the investigator said.

The driving school owner is not known to the police as a drug user either, but because of domestic violence and alcohol.

"He also no longer has a driver's license," the official reported.


In the apartment of the defendant's 50-year-old friend, on the other hand, utensils such as a precision scale and a vacuum sealer were found, which could indicate trading. On the witness stand, the 50-year-old dismissed this suspicion and also blamed the accused's absent husband. He was "excessive in everything" and manipulated his wife.


No verdict was reached on the first day of the hearing.

Defense attorney Nikolaus von Lucke wants to have another witness summoned and submit additional requests for evidence.

The accused, who had three previous convictions, is now in custody because she did not appear at the originally scheduled trial date.

When she was arrested, small amounts of drugs were again found in her apartment.

And although she stated that she had only been consuming sporadically for a few months, a drug test when she was admitted to the Aichach prison was positive.


The process continues.
