Law enforcement officers have stopped the activities of an organized group that was supplying cocaine from Spain to Ukraine
Under the procedural guidance of prosecutors of the Prosecutor General’s Office, the activities of an organized group that established a cocaine supply channel from Spain to Ukraine were uncovered and terminated.
During a special operation, law enforcement officers seized about 3 kg of cocaine worth over UAH 18.5 million. This is approximately three thousand doses that could have ended up on the “black” market.
According to the investigation, the members of the criminal group organized the illegal transportation of cocaine from Spain to Ukraine. After crossing the state border, the drugs were delivered to Kyiv through one of the popular logistics companies, disguising the contraband as ordinary postal items.
Currently, two suspects have been notified of charges under Part 3 of Art. 307 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (illegal acquisition, storage and transportation for the purpose of sale of narcotic drugs in especially large quantities). The court chose a preventive measure for them – detention in custody for a period of 60 days without the right to post bail.
The defendants face up to 12 years of imprisonment with confiscation of property. The pre-trial investigation is being conducted by investigators of the Main Investigation Department of the National Police with operational support from the Department for Combating Drug Crime.
