Interior Ministry conducts large-scale special operation against drug trafficking network

Kazakhstan's Interior Ministry carried out a large‑scale cross‑regional operation dismantling a transnational drug‑recruitment scheme, detaining 40 suspects and seizing substantial drug quantities.

Kazakhstan's Interior Ministry conducted a large‑scale special operation targeting a transnational network that used online platforms and messaging apps to recruit citizens for drug trafficking under the guise of high‑paying jobs. The scheme's organizers were reportedly based outside Kazakhstan, running recruitment ads on social media to lure victims into illegal drug distribution. The operation spanned 11 regions of the country and resulted in 40 detentions, with 11 individuals arrested on suspicion of direct drug‑distribution involvement and nine others held administratively for substance use. Law enforcement seized drugs and related evidence while continuing to identify and pursue the overseas organizers and core participants for criminal prosecution.
