In Kyiv, law enforcement officers successfully shut down a large-scale cocaine supply channel from other regions of Ukraine. According to the pre-trial investigation, the organizer of the scheme turned out to be an active member of the notorious Kryvyi Rih "Dvadtsiativski" drug gang.
The offenders established a well-defined logistical network. The high-end drugs were transported to the capital by a car equipped with a pre-arranged secret hiding place, Censor.NET informs.

During the final stage of the special operation, law enforcement officers detained the key suspects and conducted urgent searches. As a result, the following was seized:
- about 1 kg of high-quality cocaine, the estimated value of which at "black market" prices is almost UAH 8 million;

Currently, four members of the criminal group have been officially served a notice of suspicion of illegal production, manufacture, acquisition, storage, or sale of narcotic drugs.
