FSKN offers Council of Baltic Sea States to hold transborder drills
MURMANSK, May 28 (Interfax) - The Federal Drug Control Service (FSKN) has offered member countries of the Council of the Baltic Sea States (CBSS) to hold transborder exercises tasked to detect drug and psychotropic substance pipelines.
FSKN Department on Transnational Organized Drug Crime head Denis Khlebnikov made the proposal at a CBSS event in Murmansk on Wednesday.
"The delivery of 140 kilograms of hashish was stopped together with Latvian services last year. Suspects were detained in Russia and other countries participating in that operation. A criminal group has been exposed, and the inquiry is ongoing," Khlebnikov said.
He added that the drills could train the exposure of the entire drug pipeline, from the sender and the mule to the recipient.
