The investigative authority at the Attorney General’s Office in Libya has ordered the pre-trial detention of three suspects after they were caught red-handed transporting a large quantity of smuggled psychotropic substances, following investigations conducted by the Yefren branch of the Anti-Narcotics and Psychotropic Substances Agency.
The Public Prosecution Office stated that the investigations uncovered a criminal conspiracy to transport a smuggled shipment of psychotropic substances through the city of Murzuq, where assigned officers succeeded in stopping three members of the criminal gang in possession of 741,481 psychoactive pills.
After the investigation was completed by the Deputy Prosecutor at the Zintan Primary Prosecution Office, it was decided to refer the three suspects to the judiciary while in pre-trial detention, and to issue warrants for the arrest of the remaining fugitive members of the gang.
