Teenage drug couriers, who held hands and smiled during the trial, were sentenced in Gomel
A young couple involved in distributing drugs through drop-offs was sentenced in Gomel. In the courtroom cage, the boy and girl held hands and smiled during the trial, while their parents and relatives cried. This story from his practice was shared by Andrei Nasytka, head of the Department for Drug Control and Combating Human Trafficking of the Criminal Police of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Regional Executive Committee.
According to the law enforcement officer, police once had to detain a girl and a boy, aged 16 and 17 respectively. The young man was the first to get a job at an online store selling drugs, and then he involved his girlfriend in the business. Both were detained in one of Gomel's districts.
The girl had a bag with drug drop-offs. After the arrest, she was completely flustered, clutched a package in her fist, and did not unclench her fingers for a long time, even though she could have simply thrown the package onto the street, as is often done in such situations, the police officer recalls.
It turned out that the teenagers believed their "employers'" promises until the very end that everything would be fine and no one would catch them. In court, the young couple stood in the cage, holding hands and smiling, while their parents and relatives cried.
The exact sentences received by the young people were not reported. However, such crimes in Belarus usually carry very long sentences.
