In a major crackdown on drug trafficking, five individuals have been placed in preventive detention for their alleged involvement in the procurement, possession, and sale of various substances. The suspects, aged between 21 and 47, were arrested by the Timișoara Organized Crime Fighting Brigade, in collaboration with DIICOT prosecutors.
According to reports, the suspects had been selling cannabis, cocaine, and N-Ethylpentedrone, with amounts ranging from 150 to 2,390 lei. During searches at their locations, over 160 grams of drugs, 44 cannabis plants, and various tools used in illegal activities were confiscated.
The preventive arrest was approved by the Timișoara Tribunal for a period of 30 days. This is part of an ongoing effort to combat organized crime groups involved in drug trafficking.
Background: In recent weeks, Romanian authorities have been cracking down on drug trafficking rings across the country. Similar operations have taken place in other cities, including Iași and Oradea, where individuals were arrested for selling cannabis and cocaine. The efforts aim to disrupt the supply chain of illicit substances and bring those responsible to justice.
