The attackers were informed of the suspicion under Part 3 of Art. 307 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine - illegal storage, transportation, transfer or sale of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances or their analogues committed by a previous conspiracy by a group of persons, as well as if the subject of such actions were narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances or their analogues in particularly large sizes.
The court chose a preventive measure for the defendants in the form of detention. They are threatened with imprisonment for a term of nine to twelve years with confiscation of property.
In addition, law enforcement officers in the Chernivtsi region detained members of an interregional criminal organization.
A 39-year-old man - a dependent of a correctional institution on the territory of the Vinnytsia region organized the activities of a criminal organization. To the “work” he attracted six more accomplices who were at large.
Members of the group engaged in the illegal manufacture and distribution of psychotropic substances. Drugs were sold in the territory of Zhytomyr, Chernivtsi and the region, as well as in the capital.
In each of the listed cities there was a member of the group who was responsible for drug trafficking. Prohibited substances were sent by the defendants through the territory of Ukraine through postal services, where they packaged and sold goods among the population on the ground.
For reporting, the head of the Chernivtsi link of the criminal group involved his roommate in illegal activities. She was in charge of “accounting” and made monetary settlements with those involved.
Law enforcement officers conducted 14 searches in the territory of several regions for places of residence, in the vehicles of the defendants and in the correctional colony in Vinnytsia region. Items for the manufacture and packaging of amphetamine, 250 thousand hryvnias, mobile phones, laptops, bank cards and “rough” records were seized.
