Drug trafficking network in Arad: 10-year-old minor involved in cannabis sales
Ten people have been detained in Arad after investigators discovered that members of a drug trafficking network had allegedly used a 10-year-old child to distribute cannabis, according to G4Media.
The suspects are said to have enlisted the minor in order to reduce the risk of being detected by authorities during sales operations. Prosecutors and police acted following an investigation targeting the activities of dealers in the area.
The ten detained people are to be questioned by investigators under the applicable legal procedures. The case raises questions about the degree of vulnerability of minors exposed to organised criminal environments.
The authorities have not publicly specified whether the minor has been placed under protection or whether his family is subject to additional checks. The investigation is ongoing.
