At dawn on December 2, the offenders were simultaneously raided at nine locations, and a total of 13 people were arrested.
During the searches, nearly 2.5 kilograms of suspected drugs—mainly crystal—along with equipment for distribution were seized. As part of asset recovery, nearly HUF 23 million, gold jewelry worth HUF 4 million, and three vehicles were confiscated.
The investigators took eight dealers into custody for drug trafficking and one person for possession of drugs, while four others are allowed to defend themselves while free.
