Playing “Mario” as an adult: law enforcement officers exposed dealers with a million profit (video)
Local law enforcement officers detained drug dealers. The defendants set up the sale of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances in Kiev through a telegram store.
The group consisted of an organizer, a warehouse manager and five salespeople. Law enforcement officers conducted 11 operational purchases from the defendants and a number of searches.
As a result, 500 grams of psilocybin, 500 grams of cannabis, 25 e-cigarettes containing tetrahydrocannabinol, 150 MDMA tablets, cocaine, and amphetamine were found and recovered.
In addition, during the checks the police seized 25,000 dollars, 6000 Euros and 100,000 hryvnias in cash. In order to attract the attention of buyers, the accomplices used the name of the famous children's game “Mario” for the nickname of the telegram channel.
On the sale of drugs, criminals earned more than 1,500,000 hryvnias per month.
Seven “businessmen” were detained in accordance with Art. 208 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine. They were informed of suspicions under Part 3 of Article 307 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine - the sale of drugs on a particularly large scale, committed by an organized group. The defendants face up to twelve years in prison with confiscation of property.
The total cost of seized narcotic and psychotropic substances at “black market” prices is 1,000,000 hryvnias.
