The court sentenced two residents of Vologda for organizing a drug laboratory

The Vologda regional court found guilty 33-year-old Vologzhan and 24-year-old Vologzhan in the production and sale of drugs.

In 2024, they agreed to the proposed “job” in the drug business. In 2025, the man transported more than 11 kg of drugs to the Vologda region and equipped a drug laboratory in a house bought for this.
