The volume of seized drugs falls into the category of particularly large sizes. This exacerbates the responsibility of the suspect.
The police have initiated a pre-trial investigation regarding the possession of drugs with the intent to distribute. The detainee faces a sentence of 10 to 15 years in prison, along with asset confiscation.
It was previously reported that the President of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, signed a law aimed at combating drug-related crimes. The document tightens penalties for the production and distribution of drugs while simultaneously softening the responsibility for those involved in drug hiding.
