A man selling illegal chocolate bars was apprehended in Kyiv. He faces the risk of spending the next eight years behind bars. The details were shared by the Kyiv police press service on January 30.
Officers from the Holosiivskyi district police department discovered that a resident of the capital had set up a production facility in one of the rooms of his apartment. The man had installed specialized equipment for chocolate making and created conditions for cultivating psilocybin mushrooms.
The Kyiv resident produced chocolate infused with a particularly dangerous psychoactive substance—dimethyltryptamine (DMT). The "treats" were then packaged in paper boxes and sent to clients, whom the drug dealer contacted via messaging apps.
The producer of the psychoactive chocolate was arrested. During a search of his home, police found over 30 zip bags containing psilocybin mushrooms, cannabis, and DMT. He also had kitchen scales, "rough" notes, molds for chocolate production, and ready "goods" in his apartment.
Investigators informed the man of his suspicion regarding the illegal production, acquisition, and storage of psychoactive substances with the intent to distribute. Following a court decision, he was taken into custody with the possibility of posting bail. The drug dealer faces up to eight years in prison.
Recall that on January 30, police and the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) uncovered an agent group that was preparing a series of terrorist attacks in Ukraine. Their first victim was a 54-year-old volunteer, who was lured out of his home by a fire.
Students from one of the schools in Kyiv played "in TCK" and barely avoided injuring each other. The police provided details on whether a report had been filed regarding this incident.
