Prosecutors of the Lviv Regional Prosecutor's Office have sent an indictment to the court regarding a local resident who participated in international drug and psychotropic substance smuggling from October 2024 to July 2025, as well as selling them in bulk.

This concerns ecstasy, cannabis, cannabis resin, and cocaine.

The smuggling of prohibited substances into Ukraine was organized by her ex-husband, who lives in the Netherlands. He hid the packages with the substances in portable music speakers and handed them over to a driver of an international bus route, who was unaware of the specific cargo being transported.

Upon receiving the drugs, the accused sold them for cash in foreign currency. The buying and selling took place in the woman's apartment. The goods were stored in a specially equipped compartment between floors in the building's entrance.

Law enforcement documented the sale of over 600 ecstasy tablets, nearly 150 g of cannabis, about 500 g of cannabis resin, and almost 800 g of cocaine (equivalent to 1.5 kg seized with impurities).

It is worth noting that the woman was arrested under Article 208 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine in July after selling cocaine.

During searches at the places of residence and storage of prohibited substances, over 300 g of cocaine (0.5 kg equivalent to the seized with impurities), about 600 g of ecstasy, and nearly 16,500 euros, which she received during the last sale of cocaine, were seized.

The accused is charged with aiding in the smuggling of narcotic drugs and particularly dangerous psychotropic substances, illegal acquisition, transportation, and storage for the purpose of selling narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances, particularly dangerous psychotropic substances, particularly dangerous narcotic drugs, as well as the sale of narcotic drugs and aiding in the illegal acquisition, transportation, storage for the purpose of selling, and sale of narcotic drugs (Part 5 of Article 27 – Part 2, 3 of Article 305, Part 2, 3 of Article 307, Part 5 of Article 27 – Part 3 of Article 307 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

The organizer and another accomplice, who also received narcotic substances from the organizer, stored them, and sold them in Lviv, have been notified of suspicion in absentia under Part 2, 3 of Article 305, Part 2, 3 of Article 307, Part 3 of Article 27 - Part 3 of Article 307 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine and Part 3 of Article 307 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, respectively. They are currently wanted internationally.

The pre-trial investigation is being conducted by the Main Directorate of the National Police in the Lviv Region, with operational support from the Security Service of Ukraine and the State Bureau of Investigation of Ukraine.

Note: According to Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is presumed innocent of committing a crime and cannot be subjected to criminal punishment until their guilt is proven in a lawful manner and established by a court verdict.
