Palilula: Man Arrested With Nine Kilograms of Drugs
Serbian police arrested F. P. (22) from Belgrade on suspicion of drug production and trafficking. Officers found about nine kilograms of drugs, five types in all.
Officers of Serbia’s Interior Ministry arrested F. P. (22) from Belgrade this morning, September 11, on suspicion of unauthorized drug production and trafficking. A search of his apartment and other premises he uses turned up about nine kilograms of drugs, five different types.
The operation was carried out on the order of the Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office in Belgrade by officers from the Palilula Police Station’s crime suppression unit, working alongside the Crime Police Directorate’s crime suppression service and the Belgrade Police Department.
Serbia’s Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister, Ivica Dacic, addressed the arrest in a ministry statement:
“Officers of the Ministry of Interior arrested a person on grounds of suspicion that they committed the criminal offense of unauthorized production and trafficking of narcotic drugs.”
Five kinds of drugs in one apartment
During the search, police found marijuana, hallucinogenic mushrooms, hashish, pink cocaine and MDMA. The available information does not break down how much of each type was seized, only the total of about nine kilograms. A haul spanning five different drug types in a single apartment is unusual in Belgrade, where seizures typically involve one or two types in larger quantities.
Dacic also said, in the same Interior Ministry statement, what happens next for the suspect:
“The suspect has been ordered held for up to 48 hours, after which he will be brought before the Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office in Belgrade along with a criminal complaint.”
According to the Interior Ministry statement, F. P. was born in 2004. He is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a final court ruling. He is suspected of committing the offense of unauthorized production and trafficking of narcotic drugs in an apartment he uses in Belgrade.
