The article describes the ongoing trial in Düsseldorf involving six defendants accused of organizing a large-scale drug trafficking operation. The defendants, both in their mid-to-late 20s, are described as having good family backgrounds, no prior criminal records, and having completed their high school education (Abitur) with some even starting university studies. The prosecution alleges that between 2022 and 2025, the two main suspects, Marvin G. and Maximilian G., led a criminal organization that sold large quantities of drugs, including one ton of cocaine, four tons of marijuana, 20 liters of amphetamine oil, and thousands of pills. The article raises the question of why individuals with such favorable life circumstances would choose a life of serious crime.
