Pazardzhik man detained with drugs worth €23,615 at Plovdiv city entry operation

At the entrance to Plovdiv, in a joint police operation, a 30-year-old man from the Pazardzhik village of Ivayло was detained. The arrest was carried out on August 20 by Plovdiv police officers, with the car and passengers stopped as they entered the city from the Pazardzhik region.

During the operation, the vehicle and the detainee's address were searched. A total of 1139.605 grams of high-risk drugs were found during the body search, including amphetamine, methamphetamine and marijuana. The value of seized drugs was estimated at €23,615.

The check also led to the discovery of over a kilogram of amphetamine in the car and the man’s apartment, as well as about 58 grams of marijuana and a similar amount of methamphetamine. An electronic scale with traces of drugs was seized during the operation, and investigators established that the substances were intended for distribution in small doses.

For possession of high-risk drugs with the intent to distribute, the accused was charged. The supervising prosecutor directed the case toward detention in custody. Initially, the man was detained for up to 72 hours, while the Pleven District Court issued the harshest pre-trial detention measure — detention in custody. The proceedings on the charges continue.

The case fits into a series of judicial decisions where the court imposes permanent detention on charges of drug distribution. A similar case was reported in a report about a drug lord detained for marijuana in Dobrich.
