Under the procedural supervision of the Lviv Region Prosecutor’s Office, a 33-year-old local resident was exposed and served a notice of suspicion of illegal acquisition, storage with intent to sell and sale of a particularly dangerous drug in large and especially large amounts, committed repeatedly (Part 2, 3 Art. 307 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
According to the investigation, during 2023-2024, the suspect organised the illegal sale of heroin in Lviv.
He accepted orders for a particularly dangerous drug by phone and handed them over to “clients” directly at the meeting.
In particular, four episodes of selling the “goods” totalling almost 80 grams were documented.
This “activity” brought the man about UAH 300 thousand in profit.
The suspect was detained in accordance with Art. 208 of the CPC of Ukraine after another sale of a batch of drugs, for which he received USD 4,550.
During the searches at the places of registration and actual residence of the man, the SBU found and seized bundles of prohibited substances, packaging equipment, cash and other material evidence.
The issue of choosing a type of detention is being decided.
The investigation is ongoing. A number of examinations have been ordered.
The pre-trial investigation is being carried out by investigators of the Main Department of the National Police in Lviv region, and operational support is being provided by the SBU Office in Lviv region.
Note: In accordance with Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person shall be presumed innocent of committing a crime and shall not be subjected to criminal punishment until his or her guilt is proved by law and established by a court verdict of guilty.
