The start of the trial against the Leipziger, who has become known as the "children's room dealer", before the Leipzig Regional Court has been postponed. The court said on Friday that investigative authorities had submitted further extensive documents that could be used as evidence.

Together with four other defendants, the 27-year-old is said to have operated an online trade in narcotics. The trial was originally scheduled to begin on December 2nd.

The main hearing should now be opened on January 11, it said. Neither the court nor the parties to the proceedings were aware of the newly submitted documents. In order to be able to guarantee a fair process, they should be viewed and examined before the negotiations begin again. All other hearing dates planned until the end of March remained in place. The five men between the ages of 24 and 42 are accused of taking, among other things, 16.5 kilograms of amphetamine, 2.5 kilograms of hashish, two kilograms of a party drug, 500 grams of methamphetamine and 350 grams of cocaine in and outside of Germany from April 2019 to January 2021 to have sold.

The "nursery dealer" was sentenced to seven years in prison in 2015 after admitting to having sold almost a ton of drugs through his online drug exchange. His drug deals, which he made from his childhood home in Leipzig, served as the basis for the Netflix series "How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast)". The first season was released in May 2019.
