Details: Suspicion has been reported to 6 persons – the family and their accomplices for organizing the cultivation of hemp and the subsequent sale of cannabis in Ukraine.
During the pre-trial investigation, the law enforcement officers established two active “drug farms” and one – which was planned to be opened by the perpetrators. The production capacity was about 1 kg of cannabis per day. The finished “goods” were sold in large batches to verified customers.
According to the investigation, this “business” was organized by a family – father, mother and their son, involving three accomplices. Worked in Kyiv, Chernivtsi and Cherkasy regions.
During the authorized searches, 25 kilograms of cannabis, more than 1,000 hemp plants, fertilizers, equipment, tools and means for growing and drying hemp were discovered and seized. In addition, the law enforcement officers seized four briquettes with a powdery substance – cocaine, with a total weight of about 4 kilograms.
According to preliminary calculations, the value of the seized “goods” is about 40 million hryvnias.
In addition, five premium cars, which the perpetrators used in criminal activities, with a total value of about 300,000 dollars, were seized.
Currently, the court has chosen preventive measures for the suspects in the form of detention and house arrest.
Seized vehicles of the suspects and equipment for the production of narcotic substances were seized.
