The public prosecutor's office at the National Penal Pole for Combating Terrorism and Transnational Organized Crime has announced the breakup of an organized criminal network involved in illegal drug trafficking. Following an investigation by the central unit against illicit drug trade, 10 people were caught in flagrante delicto, while 5 others remain at large but have been identified. Authorities seized 2.4 million units of 300 mg pregabalin. The suspects were brought before the prosecution on serious charges, including transnational drug trafficking aimed at undermining national security, aggravated smuggling, and money laundering. An investigating judge has ordered that all 10 defendants be held in pre-trial detention.
