Bulgaria busts double drug trafficking ring

  An organised crime group dealing with drug trafficking has been neutralised in Bulgaria.
Bulgarian Deputy Prosecutor General Borislav Sarafov announced the news speaking at a briefing at which heads of law-enforcement institutions announced the results of successfully organised operations recently.
“Our joint efforts led to serious success and neutralisation of a double drug trafficking channel,” Mr Sarafov remarked. 
Plamen Yordanov Popchev, Vasil Tsvetolyubov Tsvetkov, Dimitar Yulev and Anya Marinova have been pressed charges on March 18. They are accused of participating in an organised crime group, headed by Plamen Popchev, from September 2015 until March 18 2016.
The crime group dealt with international drug trafficking and drug distribution in Bulgaria. 
Mr Sarafov added that the group was armed and during the raids authorities found an Uzi gun with silencer and 140 cartridges at the home of the boss of the group. 
“The defendants have been also pressed charges for keeping high-risk drug substance in a hidden compartment inside a TIR truck in Etropole – 25 packages at the total weight of 27.8 kilos, on March 18. 
Part of the group was detained after a signal we filed to the colleagues in Germany. The group there was detained while transporting 16 kilos of heroin from a German city to the Netherlands,” Mr Sarafov explained further.
“What is characteristic about the group is that it transported heroin through Bulgaria, smuggling in from Turkey, and then taking it to the Netherlands and the countries in West Europe. 
On the route back it returned cocaine and amphetamines. Thus, the group gained a double profit,” Mr Sarafov said. 
He commented further that the hidden compartment used was of a unique type – with a locking electronic mechanism, which was divided into sectors, and it could be opened only with a distance control device.
