The SBU exposed drug trafficking via Boryspil International Airport. Drug dealers imported cocaine to Ukraine from one of the Latin American countries. Members of an international criminal group set up a vast network of drug couriers.

A multi-stage special operation resulted in the detention of two drug couriers with cocaine consignments at Boryspil International Airport.
