Stuttgart Police Probe Suspected Drink-Spiking at Nightclub After At Least Seven Fall Ill

Investigators are awaiting toxicology results from collected samples to confirm the substance.

Overview

  • Police responded to a nightclub on Rotebühlplatz overnight from Friday to Saturday after multiple guests suddenly became unwell.
  • At least seven people were affected, reporting nausea, dizziness, severe circulatory problems and memory gaps, with some requiring hospital care.
  • Officers collected blood and urine samples from those impacted, and laboratory analyses have not yet been completed.
  • Authorities note that common knockout agents such as GHB and GBL are difficult to detect after a short window, with prior deaths in Baden-Württemberg and tighter controls on GBL and 1,4-butanediol planned this year.
  • Investigators have appealed for witnesses and additional potential victims to come forward by calling +49 711 89903100.
