| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [REGNUM] In Kansk, Krasnoyarsk Territory, a verdict was passed on Nine members of a criminal group on charges of illegal drug trade. As a REGNUM correspondent was told in the press service of the regional prosecutor's office, seven residents of Kansk and two Achintsy were among the defendants. According to the department, from November 2016 to June 2017, the organizer of the group, who is serving a sentence in a colony, opened online stores for the contactless sale of synthetic drugs. He attracted the rest of the defendants to illegal activities via the Internet. A man bought large quantities of a prohibited substance from an unidentified person, which was then taken by his accomplices from hiding places, and packed into smaller quantities to create "bookmarks." "During the indicated period of time, the defendants tried to sell a narcotic drug with a total weight of more than 1 kg, but their criminal activities were suppressed by law enforcement officers," the prosecutor's office said. Following the results of the proceedings, the court found the accused guilty. The organizer, who is still in prison, was sentenced to 12 years in a special regime colony. The rest were sentenced to seven to nine years in a maximum security colony, depending on the role and degree of participation in the activities of the organized criminal group. |
