In the Tashkent region, individuals attempting to sell strong psychoactive drugs worth 900 million UZS were arrested. This was reported by the press service of the MIA here.
It was noted that during the special operation conducted by authorities on July 16, 2024, citizen K.S. was caught selling 70 units of "amino-methyl" and 3 units of "tropicamide" strong psychoactive drugs to a controlled buyer for 4 million 300 thousand UZS. An additional 7 units of similar powerful drugs were seized from him as evidence.
Further investigations revealed that these drugs were supposed to be delivered to the controlled buyer by a person born in 1981, named I.J. However, the father sent his 18-year-old child K.S. for this illegal task.
