According to police, the investigation established that the pharmacist organized the supply of large batches of potent drugs from Almaty to the Aktobe region.
During the special operation, police detained all members of the criminal group. Among them were the organizer, operator, packers, and drug couriers.
It is reported that over a thousand potent medicinal drugs were seized during the detention.
