As part of the fight against illegal drug trafficking, employees of the State Security Service, in cooperation with customs and internal affairs authorities, carried out operative activities in the city of Tashkent and the Tashkent region.
In particular, at the place of residence of a citizen of Ukraine (born in 1998) and an Azerbaijani citizen (born in 2001), narcotic drugs were found in the Yukorichirchik district of Tashkent region. Including, 411 g of the synthetic drug “Alpha-PVP”, about 7 kg of semi-finished products and 237 kg of precursors were identified and registered in a procedural manner.
It turned out that these citizens had created a clandestine drug laboratory in this place and were engaged in the production and sale of synthetic drugs using raw materials delivered from abroad.
In a case identified in the Sergeli district of Tashkent, a resident of this district (born in 1985) was detained while receiving 4 kg 799 g of the synthetic drug “Alpha-PVP”, sent by an international passenger bus from a neighboring republic. It turned out that he served as a “drug store” organized in the Telegram messenger.
In another case, a resident of the Yunusabad district (born in 1999) stored 584 g of hashish under an electrical transformer located near his house for the purpose of further sale. This citizen was also involved in selling drugs in the Telegram messenger.
Currently, criminal cases have been initiated in all three cases, and a preventive measure in the form of imprisonment has been applied to the suspects.
