Millions of euros is annually earned from drug dealing and a part of the money obtained from selling drugs in the Russian Federation is transferred to decision makers of law enforcement agencies. The accusations were made by the head of the NGO “Genavavita” Vitalie Czine in a news conference at IPN.

Vitalie Czine said that after he helped the law to hunt down a group of drug traffickers and 40 tonnes of marijuana were seized as a result of the operation, he was arrested and jailed for four months, being charged with involvement in growing marijuana, while the real offenders are still at large.

According to the head of “Genavavita”, the high-ranking prosecutors control the cases concerning drug trafficking. Taxes of even €20,000 are charged for a person to be excluded from the case.

Vitalie Czine also said he possesses information that the time that he is to serve in jail was already decided, but he does not intend to keep silent. He asks for an audience with the minister of the interior, whom he considers a good investigation officer, in order to present evidence to show that he is not responsible for what he is charged with.

He also complained that after he helped the law enforcement agencies to discover a number of drug traffickers, the state didn’t offer protection to his family, as it had to, and he thus has to cover the related costs himself.
