The Nigerian - Czech Connection

Nigerian gang members living in the Czech Republic are hiring couriers from around the world to smuggle cocaine into that country.

According to Viktor Mravčík, the head of Czech Monitoring Center for Drugs and Drug Addiction, while drug use by Czechs is an old story, cocaine use in particular is now surging:

This is a kind of mutual trend together with increasing supply, at least in the mid or long term. Prices are going down. It seems that at least concerning cocaine, supply is increasing; there is a lot of cocaine coming to the Czech Republic. Demand for that cocaine exists as it is kind of in fashion and the decreasing price is accompanying this trend.”
