- The postcard originated in Spain and carried a silver-colored plastic foil affixed to it that concealed a white crystalline substance.
- A drug test identified the substance as cocaine, according to the Hauptzollamt Potsdam.
- Investigators have opened a case targeting the intended recipient, and the Zollfahndungsamt is now involved.
- Officials have not disclosed the quantity, the sender’s identity, or any links to wider trafficking, and note that such concealment on a single postcard is uncommon compared with parcels.
