Large-scale international operation stops drug trafficking between Bulgaria and Czechia

A large-scale international police operation revealed a dangerous drug trafficking channel between Bulgaria and the Czech Republic. Specialized units of the GDBOP and Czech drug enforcement services managed to intercept an attempt to illegally transfer a significant amount of chemical substances potentially used for synthetic drug production.

The investigation established that the criminal group had planned to transport 250,000 pseudoephedrine tablets through a courier company. The goods, presented as a standard intra-community commercial delivery, actually concealed a serious criminal potential.

On June 19, operational officers carried out a successful intervention in a warehouse located in the Czech city of Liba, where they seized the target chemical substances. During the operation, two Bulgarian citizens - a man and a woman, both 30 years old, who were already known to the police for similar criminal activities, were detained.

The total amount of seized precursors exceeded one ton, which speaks to the scale of the prevented criminal plan. The joint operation demonstrated the effectiveness of international police cooperation in the fight against organized crime.
