At the end of December 2018, following a joint investigation between Bulgarian and Turkish authorities, at the Bulgarian/ Serbian border a quantity of 64 kg synthetic drugs pills were seized.
The drugs were concealed among the legal cargo of a truck coming from The Netherlands with final destination Republic of Turkey.
The swift communication between the Bulgarian and Turkish SELEC Liaison Officers ensured the success of this joint investigation code named “Philip Plein”.
The judicial procedures in this case are currently ongoing.
