German police say pizza order No. 40 came with a side of cocaine

Quote

BERLIN (AP) — German police busted a pizzeria in the western city of Düsseldorf that also delivered a side order of cocaine when customers asked for item number 40 on the menu.

“That was one of the best-selling pizzas,” criminal director Michael Graf von Moltke told reporters in Düsseldorf.

He said police was first tipped off by suspicious food inspectors in March. When drug squad officers began observing the restaurant they soon discovered why pizza number 40 was so popular, Moltke told reporters on Monday, German news agency dpa reported.

When police buzzed the apartment of the pizzeria manager, the 36-year-old allegedly threw a bag of drugs out of the window, which “fell right into the arms of the police officers,” Düsseldorf police said. The bounty included 1.6 kilograms (3.5 pounds) of cocaine, 400 grams (14.1 ounces) of cannabis and 268,000 euros ($290,378) in cash.

Police said the restaurant manager, who was released from detention after a few days, soon reopened his business and started selling pizza number 40 with the the cocaine side order again. That gave investigators an opportunity to look into the supply chain and after several weeks, some 150 officers busted an entire drug ring in western Germany, arrested three suspects including the 22-year-old head of the drug operation, and raided homes and businesses of another 12 suspects.

During the raids, they came across two cannabis plantations in nearby Mönchengladbach and Solingen with 300 and 60 plants respectively. They also found cutting and stabbing weapons, as well as cash and expensive watches, dpa reported.

The pizzeria manager was arrested when he tried to flee abroad, and remains in custody. None of the suspects’ names were released in line with German privacy rules.

Police did not say how much the pizzeria charged for the special order.

Medical students in the UK stumbled upon an extremely rare case of a man with three penises while assessing a body donated for research.

Around one in six million male babies are estimated to be born with two penile shafts, a condition called diphallia. Only about 100 cases have been recorded in the past 400 years since it was first medically recognised.

Triphallia is an even rarer genetic anomaly that causes a male baby to have three distinct penile shafts. It was previously reported only one other time, in a baby born in Iraq in 2020.

The latest discovery, described in the Journal of Medical Case Reports, was made during the cadaveric dissection of a 78-year-old man.

This makes it a distinct adult case of the condition and the first to be carefully studied through postmortem dissection.

That's awesome.  Although a "where are they now" segment would be great, I think everyone in the story is almost certainly dead, except maybe for the little kid who was tending to the dog.  

Mailboxes with bullet holes?  Cars on blocks with bullet holes?  That's normal country decoration.  And shotgun shells in the yard/street?  Man, that's everywhere.
