A large-scale criminal operation put an end to a distribution network for the highly dangerous drug fentanyl, with the main perpetrator arrested during a targeted operation in Targovishte.

The main actor in the criminal activity is a 44-year-old man, known by the nickname "Svetlio Loveshkia", whose actual residence is in the city of Pernik, despite his origin from Lovech.

According to operational sources, the detained individual is the main coordinator of a large-scale drug distribution network, specialized in distributing fentanyl in vulnerable urban areas.

During the specialized police operation, criminal officers seized impressive quantities - about 1 kilogram of the prohibited substance, which represents a significant blow to organized drug crime.

The criminal group, led by the detained individual, practiced an extremely aggressive marketing strategy, offering fentanyl under the guise of pure heroin, deliberately misleading users.

Experts from GDBOP define this arrest as a key moment in the fight against the distribution of extremely dangerous synthetic drugs that pose a serious threat to public health.

The arrest of "Svetlio Loveshkia" is seen as a crucial success in preventing drug trafficking and protecting citizens from extremely risky psychoactive substances.
