The National Police conducted a two-phase special operation to dismantle a criminal organization involved in drug trafficking and laundering millions of dollars through the bank accounts of thousands of front individuals.
The dealers were packaging and distributing precursors for the production of amphetamines on an industrial scale.
This is reported by the
National Police of Ukraine.
The finished product was sold through postal shipments or via "master classes." It reached the market from 18 drug laboratories operating across six regions of the country.
Every month, over 60 kg of amphetamines were produced and sold through contactless means via anonymous Telegram channels, with profits reaching 18 million UAH per month.
During a two-stage special operation, the police conducted over one hundred searches across ten regions of the country and the city of Kyiv. They managed to uncover and seize luxury vehicles, more than $80,000 in various currencies, 60 kilograms of cannabis, 7 kg of "a-PVP," 3.5 kg of amphetamines, 900 units of "MDMA," a batch of fake bank accounts and SIM cards, and other evidence of criminal activities.
Police investigators gathered sufficient evidence and announced suspicions against sixteen members of the drug cartel.
Additionally, in Transcarpathia,
members of a criminal organization that organized an international drug trafficking channel will face trial.
In Kyiv, authorities
uncovered a large-scale production of psychotropic substances. The criminals were producing 50 kg of psychotropics monthly.
