The number of young people involved in drug trafficking is growing in Belarus. Today this was discussed at a round table in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. As noted by the head of the country's drug control, this year alone, 70 college and university students were detained on drug abuse. Mainly, paratylephedrone and alpha-PVP were mainly distributed.
In total, in the first three months of the year, over 1 060 crimes related to drug trafficking were recorded. The growth dynamics of drug crimes is associated, among other things, with the pandemic. Young people spend more and more time on the Internet, where recruitment takes place. The guys are convinced that if they follow the measures of secrecy, they will not be detained. At the same time, the average length of proliferation of drugs is 2-3 months, some dealers are detained after the first case.
Experts note that special attention should be paid to the parents, and their actions. And the fact that drug problems can arise only in dysfunctional families is a delusion. Different guys get trapped in the networks of the drug syndicate.
Law enforcement officials note an increase in the number of overdoses - 138 cases. Recently, operatives have closed down 2 online drug stores. Almost 300 criminal cases were initiated against 216 people related to drug trafficking using web resources.
