Attempt to Smuggle Nasvay to a Convict Foiled in Kyzylorda
An attempt to deliver a prohibited item to a convicted prisoner was foiled at Institution No. 60 in Kyzylorda.
According to the information provided, the younger brother of a prisoner serving a nine-year sentence attempted to deliver four packets of nasvay by hiding them inside a hamburger.
However, a serviceman from military unit 5547, who was on duty at the checkpoint, together with staff members of Institution No. 60, detected the suspicious item in time. During the inspection, the prohibited substance was discovered and confiscated.
The relevant materials have now been compiled against the individual and will be submitted to the administrative court.
It should be noted that since 2015, the import, production, sale and distribution of nasvay have been prohibited in Kazakhstan.
The transfer of prohibited items into penal institutions may result in administrative or criminal liability.
