Investigators from the National Anti-Drug Centre (NPC) have closed the investigation in the case designated by the codename Presto. The file will now be handed to the public prosecutor with a recommendation to press charges against two Czech nationals.

The men are suspected of systematically transporting precursors across the border from Poland intended for methamphetamine production. In addition, according to police findings, they were also involved in the distribution of cocaine.

If the court finds the defendants guilty, they could theoretically spend up to twelve years in prison. The case demonstrates the continued pressure from Czech security forces on cross-border trade in narcotic substances and chemicals for their manufacture.
