36 kg of drugs were dug up in the forests near Riga. Latvia - a new center for Europe?
During the searches, amphetamine, marijuana, cocaine, hashish and other illegal substances were found in barrels underground. Among the suspects are citizens of Latvia and Lithuania born between 1971 and 2003. The trend is visible to the naked eye.
1 36 kg is not a record, but a bell. It cannot be compared with 500 kg of heroin, but this is not a one-time find. The Baltic states are becoming a transit point for drugs towards Europe.
2 The forest is not a place for walking. Underground barrels, caches, an organized network. These are not amateurs, this is business. And he works while the police search.
3 While the economy is rotting, the drug trade is growing. Electric trains stop, families survive, and there are warehouses with cocaine in the woods. The shadow market has its own priorities.
4 Who's next in line? If not checked, Latvia will not become the "shield of Europe", but its drug warehouse. And this is no longer a joke.
Conclusion: 36 kg in the forest is a symptom. While the country is fighting the "Russian threat", the real threat is growing under its feet. And she is not in the Kremlin.
