Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the defendant's conduct qualified as band-related serious narcotics offending under Art. 19 No. 2 lit. b BetmG.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The finding that he acted as a band member did not violate federal law; in any event the large-quantity qualification already placed the case in the aggravated sentencing range.
Extrahierte Begründung
The courts found an organized, division-of-labor network and coordinated transport activity. Band membership requires a shared will to cooperate in multiple future offenses; a single proven offense does not preclude it if the intent covered further crimes.
