Investigator of the MIA of Russia Administration for Novokuznetsk has completed the investigation of a criminal case initiated against a 52-year-old local resident. He was charged with committing crimes under part 1 of Article 210 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation "Organization of a criminal association (criminal organization) or participation in it (it)" and part 4 of Article 228.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation "Illicit production, sale or transfer of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances or their analogs" (6 episodes).

The investigator and officers of the Criminal Investigation unit of the MIA of Russia GA for the Kemerovo Region established that the defendant created in Novokuznetsk an organization whose members were engaged in the sale of heroin. The community consisted of two groups, led by the spouse of the defendant and his own son. In most cases, relatives of the family were involved in drug trafficking. In total, the participants in the illegal scheme were 12 people who either already had a criminal record or were waiting for the court verdict for crimes related to the illicit drug trafficking. All of them were detained by the police during special operations.

The investigation gathered evidence that the organizer of the community not only controlled the groups of sellers, but also determined for them territories for the trade in heroin - their spheres of influence covered the Central and Kuibyshevskiy districts. The defendants transferred wholesale lots of prohibited substances to accomplices at night in deserted places. The weight of the drug, as a rule, was about a kilogram. Subsequently, heroin was packaged in doses and distributed through the hierarchy to ordinary sellers. Parties of heroin were stored in forest plantations or on the banks of the river. The community leader carefully concealed his activities to avoid the detention. However, police officers, as a result of investigative and operational-search activities, gathered evidence of his involvement in organized criminal activities. In particular, it was established that for the control of individual groups of drug dealers, the defendant involved members of another organized criminal group.
At present, the materials of the criminal case brought against the leader of the drug community have been forwarded to the court.
