The couple rented an apartment in the Lychakivsky district of Lviv, from where they sold the prohibited substances via so-called “stashes” and mail shipments throughout Ukraine.
Investigators documented instances where the defendants placed the psychotropic substance “spice” in a juice carton under a tree and attempted to send it via a postal kiosk, hiding it inside a dishwashing sponge. During searches of the residence, law enforcement officers seized amphetamine, mephedrone, ecstasy, psilocybin mushrooms, “spice,” and cannabis. The pretrial investigation was conducted by officers of the Lviv District Police Department No. 1.
