Detention of the suspect and investigation details

Law enforcement agencies in Kyiv have detained a 28-year-old resident of the capital, who is suspected of systematically and illegally selling amphetamine and methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA). According to the investigation, the woman personally handed over the prohibited substances to buyers, agreeing with them on the locations and times of the meetings.

This was reported by the communications department of the Kyiv police. The illegal activity was established by officers of the drug crime control department jointly with investigators from the Solomianskyi police department.

Search of the premises

During procedural actions in the suspect's apartment, police found psychotropic substances which, investigators believe, were being prepared for sale. Specialised laboratory equipment intended for the manufacture of prohibited substances was also found in the premises.

The woman was detained in accordance with the requirements of Article 208 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine.

Criminal liability

Under the procedural supervision of the Solomianskyi District Prosecutor's Office, the suspect was charged under Part 3 of Article 307 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. This article provides for liability for the illegal acquisition, storage with the intent to sell, and sale of psychotropic substances whose circulation is restricted, in especially large quantities.

The maximum penalty under this provision of criminal law is up to 12 years of imprisonment with confiscation of property.

Investigation of other network participants

During the investigation, it was possible to identify other individuals who may be involved in the illegal circulation of psychotropic substances. Physical evidence was seized from these individuals. Currently, investigators are continuing their work to clarify all the circumstances of the criminal proceedings.

Other cases in the capital

Recently, Kyiv law enforcement officers also stopped the activity of another channel for the sale of narcotic drugs. According to the investigation, a 45-year-old resident of the capital was involved in it. The man concealed cannabis in household goods and delivered it to clients by post or in person. The total value of the narcotic drugs seized from him is estimated at approximately 320,000 hryvnias.
