In Dnipro, a drug dealer network has been uncovered, profiting millions from the sale of precursors.

A large-scale operation led to the arrest of an organized crime group in the Dnipropetrovsk region, which specialized in the illegal trafficking of precursors. The police discovered that the group had established a well-organized scheme for distributing chemical substances used in the production of psychoactive drugs through the pharmacy network in the city of Dnipro. The criminals' monthly income reached astronomical figures—over two million hryvnias. This information was reported by "Vidomo," citing the Dnipropetrovsk police.

The focus of law enforcement was an organized group that operated with remarkable precision. Its leader was a 27-year-old resident of Dnipro, who demonstrated exceptional organizational skills. He not only devised and implemented the supply and distribution scheme for the precursors but also closely monitored every step of the process, clearly delineating roles among the members of the crime group. Thirteen individuals were involved in his criminal conspiracy, including family members. This "hierarchy" ensured a high level of secrecy and efficiency for the group.

The roles within this criminal network were clearly defined. The leader's family members were responsible for packaging the precursors and chemical substances, preparing them for delivery to the pharmacies in the city. They ensured a steady supply to the points of sale, acting quickly and cohesively. To market the products, the group enlisted pharmacists working in several Dnipro pharmacies.

The group utilized a complex logistics chain, complicating the work of law enforcement agencies during the initial stages of the investigation.

The primary precursor sold by the criminals was pseudoephedrine—a substance widely used in the production of amphetamines. In addition, the group also distributed other chemical substances necessary for synthesizing various psychoactive drugs.

The volume of trade was substantial. The monthly profits of the criminal organization exceeded two million hryvnias. This money was used for the personal enrichment of the leader and to pay his accomplices. The funds were laundered through intricate financial schemes, which are now also under investigation.

On February 20, police conducted 28 authorized searches. The estimated value of the seized drugs, precursors, substances, and medical preparations on the "black" market exceeds 5 million hryvnias.
