Law enforcement in Kyiv has uncovered a criminal organization involved in the distribution of illegal substances through so-called «master classes». The criminals concealed drugs in parks, leaving them as «drops». They now face up to 12 years in prison with asset seizure.
Investigators from the Pechersk police department, along with operatives from the Drug Crime Unit, apprehended two drug dealers who were transporting 8 kg of psychotropic substance in the trunk of a Skoda car.
Among those arrested is a 26-year-old foreign national residing in Kyiv and a 45-year-old resident of Dnipropetrovsk region who came to the capital for a visit.  
During investigative actions, police discovered a location where the criminals had already made a 5 kg «drop», from which they seized a package containing the psychotropic substance Alpha-PVP. In total, 13 kg of psychotropic substances were confiscated, valued at about 6 million UAH on the «black market».
According to Article 208 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, investigators detained the accomplices and informed them of suspicion under part 3 of Article 307 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine – illegal acquisition, storage, and transportation of particularly dangerous psychotropic substances committed by a group of individuals in conspiracy.
Under the law, they face up to 12 years of imprisonment.
