Background of the incident
The incident shows once again how dangerous drug dealing can be. Drug crime is one of the most common crimes in Germany and is a central aspect of organized and street crime. In 2023, around 347,000 drug crime cases were recorded by police, an increase of 2 percent compared to the previous year, as reported Statista reported. Many of these cases are linked to cannabis, which has been partially legal since April 2024. Nevertheless, the demand for illegal drugs remains high and gives rise to numerous conflicts.
It is also interesting that just a few hours after the attack, a World War II bomb was defused near Rosenplatz, which gave the event even more explosiveness. Rosenplatz is located on the western edge of the evacuation zone that was set up during the defusal. In addition, the victim's apartment was searched at the request of the public prosecutor's office in order to secure possible connections and evidence.
Social impact of drug-related crime
Drug consumption is a significant health and social problem. In 2023, around 2,230 people died in Germany due to drug abuse. What is particularly tragic is that many of these drug deaths ultimately suffer from the long-term consequences of their use. The situation is even more dramatic in cities like Bremen, where the number of drug deaths has the highest rate of almost 5 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.
