The mysterious secret of the laundry detergent at the "Friendship" border: a 40 billion drug operation was exposed

The next illegal action was exposed at the "Friendship" border customs post. According to the State Customs Committee, 3 citizens posing as ordinary passengers were stopped while transporting 3 pieces of laundry detergent weighing 9 kg.

The attention of customs officers was drawn to the fact that the packaging had been opened earlier. During the inspection, it was determined that the substance inside the powder package was pregabalin. This substance is a powerful drug that seriously affects the nervous system.

During the operation, the person who was supposed to receive these goods was also detained in the Akhangaron district of the Tashkent region. Another 27 kg (9 packs) of powder mixed with pregabalin were found with him.

As a result of urgent measures, it was revealed that a clandestine drug laboratory was planned to be established in the Uchtepa district for the processing and sale of highly active substances. Special equipment, raw materials and a large number of empty capsules were found in a rented apartment.

The work did not stop there. The next day, another batch of highly active substances, which were placed in 20 kg packages of washing powder, was also stopped.

In total, 56 kg of highly active substances were seized as a result of this operation. Of these, 45 kg turned out to be pure pregabalin. According to experts' calculations, this amount of pregabalin could be divided into about 1.5 million capsules.

It is said that the total price of these substances on the black market is more than 40 billion soums. At present, a criminal case has been opened and investigations have been started. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
