[Regnum] The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the FSB detained seven people who provided the operation of a drug marketplace on the darknet. This was reported by the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs Irina Volk.



"My colleagues from the operational units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and the FSB of Russia, employees of territorial police units and investigators of the Investigative Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia stopped the activities of seven alleged participants in a criminal group. They provided the activities of one of the marketplaces in the shadow segment of the Internet. Drugs were distributed through it and other criminal services were offered," Volk wrote in her Telegram channel.

According to her, law enforcement officers in eight Russian regions conducted 28 searches of homes and commercial premises used by the suspects.

In addition, according to preliminary data, employees of one of the IT companies provided services to their accomplices in the criminal business to ensure the stable operation of the online platform. Employees of a cryptocurrency exchange service were also identified who accepted payments for drugs.

The detainees were charged under Articles 33, 228.1 and 210 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Types of accomplices to a crime”, “Illegal production, sale or transfer of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances or their analogues”, as well as “Organization of an organized criminal group”).

At the request of the investigator, the court chose a preventive measure in the form of detention.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, on May 20, officers of the FSB department in the Amur region stopped a major drug distribution channel. About 10 kg of the prohibited substance were confiscated from a local resident.

Earlier in Dagestan, police opened a criminal case against a local resident who was transporting more than two kilograms of mephedrone in his car. The driver hid plastic bottles with prohibited substances in the car's fuel tank.

In March, the Ministry of Internal Affairs discovered two large drug labs in Ramenskoye near Moscow and seized large quantities of mephedrone from them.
