Slaappillen.net: prosecutors seek 6½ and ten years for two Breda defendants
Prosecutors say two men from Breda played important roles distributing illegal medicines and drugs through Slaappillen.net. On 27 October, they sought prison sentences of 6½ and ten years.
The 29-year-old defendant allegedly processed orders from home for two and a half years. Prosecutors say officers needed a truck to remove the stock of pills seized there. His 34-year-old co-defendant worked for a postal company and allegedly arranged deliveries through its ordinary distribution network from late October 2024. Prosecutors describe them as important operators, rather than the people behind the organisation.
The shop was accessible on the ordinary internet, offered customer service and sent orders with tracking codes. Prosecutors say pills sold as oxycodone could actually contain nitazene, a powerful opioid carrying an overdose risk. The defendants say they did not know which substances the pills contained.
Prosecutors sought 6½ years for the younger defendant and ten for the older man. The latter is also suspected of involvement in importing and trading 500 kilograms of cocaine in August 2023 and other drug dealing. The court has yet to deliver its verdict.
