Synthetic drugs worth about 5 billion soums were found in Tashkent

Two individuals involved in the sale of synthetic drugs were arrested in the Tashkent region, as reported by the regional MDIA.

A significant amount of synthetic narcotic drugs intended for distribution was discovered on one person during a joint operation by the Tashkent Region MDIA and Bostonliq District DIA. This operation was part of the "Black Drug 2024" preventive initiative.

During the inspection of 33-year-old M.I., authorities found 6 kg of synthetic drugs in 12 packages hidden in a car spare part (reducer). The drugs were seized as evidence. Experts estimate the black market value of these drugs to be 4.8 billion soums.

A search of M.I.'s apartment revealed equipment for breaking down, packaging, and distributing synthetic drugs in smaller quantities.

The investigation determined that these synthetic drugs were transported from the Kyrgyz Republic through the valley regions. An intensive search operation is currently underway to trace the source of these drugs.

A criminal case has been initiated under Article 273, Part 5 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan, and investigative efforts are ongoing.

Previously, a person nicknamed "Yovvoyi" was arrested for transporting narcotics from Kyrgyzstan to Uzbekistan.
