Question juridique clé
Whether band membership under Art. 19(2)(b) BetmG was established.
Solution extraite
No. The proven collaboration concerned a single hemp-growing operation and did not show an intent to jointly commit multiple independent offences in the future.
Motifs extraits
Band membership requires an express or implied will to cooperate in the commission of several separate offences. Intensive cooperation and some division of labour in one project are not enough without indications of a continuing criminal plan.
