Published
Authorities say the drugs were intended for distribution across multiple regions as Uzbekistan intensifies its fight against organized narcotics trade
Uzbek law enforcement agencies have uncovered another major drug trafficking network, seizing large quantities of narcotics and psychotropic substances during a joint спецoperation, according to the State Security Service and Interior Ministry.
Authorities said the illegal drugs were intended for distribution across several regions of the country. Multiple suspects were detained, and criminal cases have been opened as investigators continue to identify others involved in the network.
The operation comes amid Uzbekistan’s broader campaign against organized crime and illegal drug trafficking. Earlier this year, officials warned about the growing spread of synthetic drugs and online narcotics sales targeting young people.
