Police officers from the Bucharest Organized Crime Brigade and prosecutors from the Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) – Central Structure dismantled two criminal groups specializing in drug trafficking and the sale of substances with psychoactive effects. The action took place on October 28 in Bucharest and Ilfov County, where 11 home searches were carried out.

According to investigators, the two groups were allegedly formed starting in July 2025, with the aim of making substantial profits from selling narcotic substances. The first group, coordinated by a woman, allegedly consisted of 14 other people and allegedly sold substances suspected of having psychoactive effects, including NEP, in Sectors 1 and 4 through October 2026.

The group members allegedly handled the procurement, portioning, packaging, transportation and sale of the substances, as well as collecting the money. To avoid detection, the products were allegedly transported to distribution points in randomly selected taxi rides.

The second group, consisting of six members, allegedly operated in the same areas and was coordinated by a man held in prison. During visits, he allegedly established details regarding supplies, prices and the division of profits.

As a result of the investigation, hundreds of NEP doses were seized, representing approximately 1.4 kilograms of the substance. The persons concerned are being questioned at DIICOT headquarters, and the investigation is continuing. They benefit from the presumption of innocence and all procedural rights.

Context: DIICOT și structurile de combatere a criminalității organizate au mai derulat recent operațiuni similare pe piața drogurilor și a substanțelor psihoactive

Înainte de acțiunea de la București și Ilfov, DIICOT și Brigada de Combatere a Criminalității Organizate București au destructurat o grupare suspectată de trafic de heroină în Sectorul 5: au avut loc 34 de percheziții, iar 12 persoane au fost reținute, cu ridicarea a 972 de doze de heroină și a circa 111 comprimate de metadonă.

Totodată, în alte județe au fost raportate intervenții conexe: în Cluj, patru bărbați au fost arestați preventiv după 14 percheziții, cu aproximativ 60 de kilograme de canabis și alte substanțe ridicate; iar în Arad, polițiștii au reținut 17 persoane după 33 de percheziții într-un dosar privind droguri de mare risc și substanțe psihoactive, ancheta menționând inclusiv produse precum 4-CMC și 4-MMC.

În plan internațional, DIICOT a pus sub acuzare și cinci persoane juridice, inclusiv o companie de transport internațional, într-un dosar de trafic de droguri de risc și mare risc, în care drogurile ar fi fost ascunse în transporturi comerciale legale organizate de la încărcări din Spania către mai multe state europene.
