Vienna police arrested five suspected drug dealers after securing 2.25 kilograms of cocaine and more than 112,000 euros in cash in raids across several districts. The arrests were made on 06.10.2026 in Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus, Favoriten and Penzing. Officers from the Einsatzgruppe zur Bekämpfung der Straßenkriminalität Wien (EGS) spotted a 25-year-old man leaving a multi-unit building and acting suspiciously. Police said the 25-year-old met a 50-year-old man, and objects were exchanged before officers moved in. A search of the 25-year-old’s bag found about 2.25 kilograms of cocaine and 2,165 euros in cash. Both men were arrested on suspicion of involvement in drug dealing. During a subsequent apartment search, police seized another 1,205 euros. Investigators then traced the cash transfer chain further. They later identified a 24-year-old woman who travelled from a flat in Penzing to Favoriten and handed a bag containing 60,100 euros to a 54-year-old woman. The 54-year-old was arrested, and a search at a nearby address revealed a money-counting machine and 41,195 euros in cash. Police also found an additional 7,425 euros at the woman’s registration address in the same building. The 24-year-old and a further 29-year-old suspect were arrested in a Penzing bar. For all five suspects, pre-trial detention was held out as a possible next step. Investigators say the case is ongoing.
