Five of the detainees, two of them minors, handed over to inspectors from the Children’s Pedagogical Room, were brought to criminal liability for participation in an organized criminal group for the distribution of drugs. One of them has not been convicted and is on bail, added Lazarov. According to him, the other two were convicted, and one, who, according to the prosecution, led the group, acted under the conditions of a dangerous relapse.
