Psychotropic drugs worth one million hryvnias seized in Mykolaiv during special operation Rubicon

Law enforcement agencies in Mykolaiv region have stopped the criminal activity of two people who specialized in the distribution of illegal psychotropics as part of Operation Rubicon.

This was reported by the Mykolaiv Regional Prosecutor's Office.

During the searches, the police seized about 400 grams of amphetamine, more than 140 grams of Alfa-PVP, a large batch of cannabis, ecstasy and other synthetic drugs with a total value of over one million hryvnias on the black market.

The investigation established that the defendants purchased illegal substances in bulk, packaged them and sold them through a system of "bookmarks" or postal services. For conspiracy, the drug dealers used fictitious personal data and disguised the goods in parcels with clothes.

In addition to the drugs, the SBU seized a MacBook, a vacuum cleaner, electronic scales, bank cards and draft records confirming their criminal activity. Currently, both detainees have been served a notice of suspicion under the article on illegal drug trafficking on a large scale, which provides for up to 12 years in prison with confiscation of property. The court has already imposed on the suspects a pre-trial restraint in the form of no alternative detention. All seized property was sent for examination, and the pre-trial investigation is ongoing.

As a reminder, in a colony in Mykolaiv region, an employee set up a drug supply channel for prisoners. Law enforcement officers have completed the investigation and sent the indictment to court. Law enforcement officers have completed the investigation into the organization of drug supply to the Kazankivska correctional colony No. 93 in Mykolaiv region. The indictment has already been submitted to court. According to the investigation, the prisoners arranged for the drugs through the colony's supervision and security inspector.

The order was made in such a way that the parcel was received by this employee, who then transferred it to the territory of the colony, and the convicts paid him for the delivery of drugs.
