It really has nothing to do with drugs.

Because of her ex-husband, a woman from Tegernsee (29) slipped into relevant business and was now before the Miesbach jury.

Tegernsee – She actually has nothing to do with drugs.

Because of her ex-husband, a woman from Tegernsee (29) slipped into relevant business and was now before the Miesbach jury.

The charges: aiding and abetting trafficking in no small amount in two counts and willful illicit trafficking in three counts.

The crimes took place in March and July 2020.

The woman from Tegernsee is said to have counted money twice before her ex planned a drug deal and knew what the bills would be used for.

Once it was 3,000 euros, then between 10,000 and 12,500 euros.

The 29-year-old also traded from her apartment, where she is said to have sold 50.6 grams of amphetamine to a customer on three occasions for 820 euros.

The public prosecutor accused her of having made the sales with the intention of making a profit.

"She already gave detailed evidence to the police in August 2020," explained defense attorney Frank Zahnert.

The facts are "predominantly correct".

Only the intention of making a profit is wrong.

The defendant confirmed counting money for her ex-husband.

"I could tell that the money was for a deal," she said.

However, she did not ask.

The woman also confessed to the three drug deals.

In June 2020, a month before the three amphetamine deals, she separated from her husband, who no longer lived with her in July.

"He wrote to me via WhatsApp if I could give something to a customer," she said.

"I weighed the amphetamine and sold it to the man outside my door." That's how the other deals went through.

But why did she do her ex this favor when she had to realize that she was getting herself into trouble?

"I felt under pressure because he kept saying that he would also pay for our child's maintenance and that I should sell the drugs to the man," said the woman from Tegernsee in despair.

Not a cent of the 820 euros was left to her.

"My ex-husband took everything."

An official (46) from the Miesbach Kripo confirmed that their statements could be believed.

"The accused gave us comprehensive and detailed testimony." Also at the expense of her ex-husband, who was sentenced to several years in prison in August 2020.

The officer also suspected "that the defendant did not keep any of the money from the three amphetamine deals - it all went to her ex-husband."

Judge: "I see that you deeply regret this."

Nevertheless, the 29-year-old made herself punishable on both counts, according to the prosecutor.

“They were aware of what the money is for when they counted it.

They even knew about the backers and that the deals had to involve a large number of drugs. ”It may be that her ex-husband put pressure on her.

"The fact that your ex then took over all the money is irrelevant to the charge," the prosecutor stated.

She rated the comprehensive statement as positive, but imprisonment was essential.

The prosecutor pleaded for 15 months probation, 1,500 euros in money and the collection of the value replacement of 410 euros - her actual share of the amphetamine deals.

Attorney Zahnert demanded that his client be punished only for the amphetamine sales and assumed at most an act of assistance.

"She was the tool, he kept the money," the defense attorney described.

"Nevertheless, she shouldn't have done it." Six months' probation is appropriate.

In the case of the money counts, Zahnert demanded acquittal and asked: "Is this action really that important?" The drug deals would have gone through without the woman from Tegernsee.

District judge Walter Leitner sentenced the woman from Tegernsee to nine months probation and the confiscation of the value replacement of 410 euros and a fine of 1800 euros.

"They got themselves into trouble," Leitner said.

In favor of the 29-year-old, he rated the "massive educational help in an interrogation lasting several hours".

The judge considered probation to be “very easily possible”.

She was "somehow slipped in," he said.

"I see that you deeply regret this.

That was misunderstood love for your ex-husband.”
