24 kg of drugs seized in eastern Turkey

The suspected drug dealers, N.Ç and B.K. identified by initials, will be brought before the court after the police investigation is completed.

The operations are ongoing to nab the fugitive suspects, the officials said.

Turkey maintains strict laws against the use, possession, or trafficking of illegal drugs. If convicted under these offenses, one could receive a heavy fine or a prison sentence of 4 to 24 years. (ILKHA)
