This individual is suspected of being involved in the trafficking of illicit alcohol, commonly referred to as ‘Water of Life’. The operation was bolstered by the efforts of a field research team, showcasing the collaboration among various law enforcement units to address the issue of illegal substances in the area.
The arrest was the result of meticulous surveillance and tracking operations initiated by the security services, which culminated in the apprehension of the suspect while he was in possession of a quantity of the illicit substance, prepared for distribution.
