The press service of the regional department of the FSB informs about this.
"The activity of an illegal laboratory in the Engels district of the Saratov region for the production of the drug mephedrone has been identified and terminated," RIA Novosti was quoted as saying.
During the search, more than 4 kg of drugs, chemical reagents and precursors, as well as laboratory equipment were seized.
“Measures are being taken to identify the property of the defendants in the criminal case, to identify and document actions to legalize the proceeds of crime from the illegal drug trade,” the security service said.
A criminal case was initiated under the article “Production of narcotic drugs on an especially large scale”.
In October, the FSB liquidated an underground drug laboratory for the production of synthetic drugs in the Moscow region.
