In Bukovyna, a married couple of online dealers will stand trial. A 23-year-old resident of Khotyn, together with his 20-year-old wife, organised the illegal sale of drugs and psychotropic substances across Ukraine via a Telegram channel.
This was reported by the Communications Department of the Chernivtsi Region Police.
The suspects took orders online and distributed the goods via postal shipments, as well as leaving them in hiding places across the region.
Law enforcement officers documented the dispatch of 25 parcels containing Alpha-PVP to various regions of Ukraine.
In addition to postal shipments, the suspects sold drugs by setting up stash drops across Bukovyna and sending clients the coordinates and photographs of the hiding places.
During investigative actions, officers seized PVP, amphetamine and cannabis weighing about 9.5 kilograms. According to expert conclusions, more than 7 kg of this amount is a particularly dangerous psychotropic substance – Alpha-PVP. At “black market” prices, the value of the seized substances exceeds 5 million hryvnias.
