Employees of the National Police of Ukraine detained two participants in the criminal group and its organizer, who established cocaine smuggling from Central America. They earned 8 million UAH a month.
The National Police reports.
The logistics route of drugs ran through three continents: from the North American Honduras to Panama in South America, from where the product came to Ukraine.
According to militiamen, a 44-year-old resident of Kiev, who lived in the United States for a long time, organized smuggling. There he repeatedly got into the field of view of American law enforcement officers and was imprisoned for financial fraud, and later deported.
In 2018, law enforcement officers twice detained the person involved in drug smuggling – both cases are in court. Nevertheless, the man continued his criminal activity.
To obtain orders, he created a site through which customers ordered cocaine, received data for calculation and agreed on the method of drug delivery.
The man was received from foreign partners. Communication took place in English and Spanish.
For the organization of mass sales of drugs in Ukraine, a man attracted accomplices, distributing roles according to the scheme: from the administration of telegrams, where customers made orders, to the transfer of goods to customers.
To prevent detection during checks at customs checkpoints, cocaine was carefully masked. Foreign senders hid drugs in vacuum rectangular packs and hid in the walls of cardboard boxes.
Ready to send a box of Honduras dealers filled with clothes, objects of general use or office equipment and sent through Panama to Kiev.
In the capital, the drug leader personally received the departure for counterfeit documents with fictitious data about the person in the post office of international delivery. After receiving the packages, he necessarily checked the integrity of the packaging and removed cocaine from the parcel in the form of pressed plates.
There were 20 to 30 parcels every month, each contained about 100 grams of cocaine.
The attacker spent about $ 30,000 on such purchase, and received $ 100,000 from the sale.
He then packed drugs on the party, and his accomplices made hiding places in different parts of the capital and the surrounding region. Wholesale bookmarks between the members of the group were called “Master”, each of which could contain up to 1000 doses of cocaine.
A separate type of service was the address delivery directly to the place of residence of the buyer. It cost $ 30.
The dealers also sold cocaine with postal items, and dealers – already retail by hand to hand.
All calculations were made exclusively in non -cash form on cryptomacoma. The funds were transferred through the so -called “drops” (transit cards for the transfer of funds) to the accounts of affiliates who provided their data for the creation of electronic wallets for a certain fee.
The organizer of the smuggling channel was detained by law enforcement officers during the receipt of the postal departure, where three transparent vacuum packaging with 200 grams of cocaine was found in the cardboard walls of the parcel. He was also seized for counterfeit documents.
During almost 20 sanctioned searches in the territory of Kyiv, Kyiv and Zhytomyr regions, as well as in Lviv, police seized cardboard boxes, in the walls of which there was a pressed powdery substance in plastic bags 7 mm thick, mobile phones, mail, money and draft.
On the basis of the evidence collected, the leader of the group and two of his accomplices investigators reported suspicion under Part 3 of Art. 307 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (illegal production, production, purchase, storage, transportation, transfer or sale of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances or their analogues) and Art. 305 of the Criminal Code (smuggling of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances, their analogues or precursors or counterfeit drugs).
The defendants were chosen by precautions, they can be threatened with up to 12 years in prison with confiscation of property.
Earlier, we wrote that large -scale production of psychotropic substances in Kiev. Criminals produced 50 kg of psychotrop on a monthly basis.
Also we will remind that the Navy forces of Mexico seized the largest drug party during the maritime surgery.
