The Supreme Court of Kyrgyzstan upheld the sentence for a foreign national for smuggling a particularly large shipment of a drug analogue, illegal production of prohibited substances, and cannabis cultivation. The court rejected the defense's cassation appeal, according to the Digital Justice portal.
Circumstances of the arrest
The criminal activity was intercepted in May last year. Officers from the Ministry of Internal Affairs' Drug Control Service, together with railway service representatives, discovered a suspicious international package arriving from the Georgian city of Batumi. To bypass customs control, an altered surname was used when processing the shipment.
During the inspection, it was revealed that the package contained a particularly large quantity of a psychotropic substance analogue. A search of the residence of the detainee, A. A. I., born in 1997, uncovered a fully equipped drug laboratory and growing cannabis.
