As a result of the measures implemented jointly by the State Revenue Committee’s pre-release control and anti-smuggling departments, the importation of a particularly large amount of heroin, around 105 kg, into the republic was prevented at the Meghri customs point. This is reported by SRC.

The DAF refrigerator truck, owned by “Omertransport” LLC, registered in Georgia, driven by Turkish citizen Ferdi Ozdemiri, who arrived in Armenia from Iran, underwent an X-ray examination, which was then escorted to Yerevan, a customs warehouse, under enhanced customs control, where a thorough examination of the vehicle was carried out.

105 kg of heroin drug was found in the trunk from a previously prepared hiding place. The prepared materials were transferred to the investigative service of the National Security Service for the purpose of conducting proceedings.
