“I want fun” is his biggest hit. But when Markus Mörl had to deal with police officers, the fun suddenly became serious. As the “jungle camp” participant revealed to the “Bild” newspaper, he had problems with the investigators last year.
According to the newspaper, the public prosecutor’s office in Limburg had opened an investigation against him for “illegal cultivation of narcotics”. The officials were preceded by an anonymous tip. A house search followed.
“I got a call from a detective saying they were at my door with a search warrant and they had to pick the lock right away. I was suspected of running a cannabis plantation in my basement. At first I thought it was a hidden camera, but it was serious. I said they could get into the house through the patio door because I had nothing to fear,” Mörl explains to the “Bild”.
But not only the basement was examined, but also other rooms in the house. Objects belonging to his wife Yvonne also fell victim to the search. “They even rummaged through Yvonne’s underwear, everything was later scattered on the floor. They even examined a vibrator, which we then immediately threw away. I just wonder how you hide a cannabis plantation in a bedroom drawer should,” says the 63-year-old.
“I am still traumatized today. When we returned to the ransacked apartment, I felt like I had been burgled. I had a nervous breakdown and burst into tears! This incident triggered a constant compulsion to clean in me,” explains wife Yvonne.
The fact that an anonymously written letter triggered these consequences is shocking for Mörl. “It’s just frightening how quickly you can be targeted by the police just by anonymous denunciation. This search was completely inappropriate,” Mörl says today. He received no compensation from the police.
