About UAH 2 million in profit per month: seven drug traffickers will be tried in Kyiv
The capital's law enforcement officers exposed seven accomplices who were involved in drug trafficking. Every month they had a profit of about two million hryvnias.
The attackers established drug distribution schemes in the capital and Vinnytsia region. The drug group included relatives and people close to each other.

Then drug dealers left a hiding place for the “client” in a forest lane near a gas station on the Odessa highway. It was in the form of two socks, in which there were 500 so-called “checks”. For each package with methadone as a “gift” there were two pills of a potent drug - dimedrol. Subsequently, these drugs got to several couriers for sale on the territory of Kiev.
