Two trucks with 333 kilograms of heroin have been detained in Romania. They had been going through Ukraine to Western Europe, Associated Press reported.
On July 29 heroin was found in the trucks, one of which was directed to Hungary and the other - to the Romanian city Bystrica. The drugs were hidden under pepper to avoid being discovered by special dogs.
Two Turkish citizens and two Romanian citizens were detained. According to the police chief of Romania Claudiu Cucu, they were followed from 2011.
The heroin was made probably in Afghanistan.
In turn, the agency RIA reported that drugs were driven through Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkey and Ukraine.
On June 12 the Ukrainian Security Service seized 500 kg of heroin, which arrived in Odessa on a ferry in bituminous rolls (roofing material) from Turkey.
In July 2014 a truck with 600 kg of liquid heroin, morphine and codeine poured into canisters and disguised as detergents was detained at the entrance from Azerbaijan to Georgia.
According to reports by the US State Department, Azerbaijan is one of the countries through which Afghan drugs are transited to Europe. The annual volume of this transit is estimated at tens of tons annually. -02B-
