Over two days, Brest border guards uncovered two attempts to illegally bring narcotic-containing medicines into Belarus from Poland. According to the Belarusian State Border Committee, 108 Tramadol tablets, 570 blister packs of Morphine and 14 blister packs of Zolpidem were seized from two Russian citizens.
The first incident occurred on 13 October. During an inspection of a minibus arriving from Poland, border guards found 108 Tramadol tablets on a 51-year-old Russian citizen who permanently resides in Belgium. The man said he was carrying the medicine for personal use. An inquiry is under way.
The following day, a 71-year-old Russian citizen was detained at the same Brest checkpoint. He had concealed 570 blister packs of Morphine and 14 blister packs of Zolpidem beneath his outer clothing, in a special vest with pockets. The man also claimed that the medicines were intended for personal use. The seized substances were handed over to customs authorities. An investigation is under way.
The State Border Committee reminded the public that Article 328-1 of the Criminal Code provides for a prison sentence of up to 12 years for the illegal movement of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances across the border.
