Kostroma drug dealer sent to prison for 10 years

The Prosecutor’s office of the Kostroma region reports about the sentence 52-year-old resident of Kologriv, which was approved by the regional court. This gentleman sold his acquaintance a wholesale batch of cannabis weighing more than 177 grams. However, security forces through operational channels learned about the upcoming deal and detained both “counterparties” right at the time of the transaction.

The district court in Kologriv sentenced the seller to 10 years and 6 months in prison, but he appealed the sentence in the regional court, citing the fact that he had stored the drug “for personal use” (and why then sold it?) – but to no avail: the regional court upheld the verdict of the district court in force.
