Despite the regular detection and prevention of drug smuggling in border areas, cases of drug transportation across the state border from Afghanistan to Tajikistan continue to be recorded, reports the Public Relations Center of the State Committee for National Security of the Republic of Tajikistan.
It is noted that during the operational-search activities, employees of the national security agencies of Tajikistan detained citizen Saifullozoda Mustafa Saifullo, born in 1994, a native of the city of Kulyab, a resident of the Arbobkhotun mahalla of the Sino district of the city of Dushanbe, on suspicion of involvement in illegal drug trafficking, from whom drugs were confiscated in especially large quantities.
During the investigation, it was established that Mustafa Saifullozoda, by prior agreement with his criminal accomplice, an Afghan citizen named Khodji, approximately 45 years old, in exchange for a large sum of money, received narcotics from a hiding place, transported them by means of a personal passenger car, Toyota Corolla, state number 00-10 PU 01 TJ, to the city of Dushanbe. In the city of Dushanbe, he hid the narcotics in a hiding place on the territory of arable lands of the Djuibodom mahalla.

"It should be noted that the rapidly changing geopolitical situation further increases modern threats and dangers, and if not prevented and stopped, it can cause instability and destabilization and generally undermine regional security.
The world community is waging a united fight against the production and consumption, smuggling and distribution of drugs, and the Republic of Tajikistan, as a reliable shield of the region, is at the forefront of this fight.
Illegal drug trafficking is one of the major problems in the world, and interested circles hinder the progress of society, deal a blow to the national economy and prevent young people from engaging in creative work," emphasizes the Public Relations Center of the State Committee for National Security of the Republic of Tajikistan.
