Two police officers from Hannover are under investigation for corruption.

A 33-year-old officer is in custody, accused of repeatedly accepting money during his duties.

His 50-year-old colleague, also implicated, has been released but remains suspended.

Authorities have searched their homes and offices, seizing potential evidence.

The allegations suggest links to drug dealers, though this remains unconfirmed.

The case has sparked criticism of Niedersachsen's security agencies, with calls for stronger measures to prevent such incidents.

Investigations are ongoing to uncover the full extent of the misconduct.
