The government said that the police in Vietnam seized the largest artificial drug factory in the country, and seized 1.4 tons of ketamine in the coastal city of Nha Treng.
The drug operation was crowned for six months to detect the drug ring last Saturday when 200 officers raided three facilities linked to the southern city and arrested 11 people, including a Taiwanese citizen who was the alleged mastermind.
“This is the largest manufacturer of artificial drugs that have been dismantled at all in Vietnam,” said Ngawin Van Vin, Director of Investigation of Crime Crime Crime, according to a statement published in the official news portal on Wednesday.
He said it was characterized by “exceptionally large -scale production line, with advanced technology.”
Among those arrested are four Vietnamese citizens, four Chinese citizens and three Taiwanese, including the alleged leader, 51, Zhang Chun Ming, who was monitored by the police since he entered Vietnam last August with a large shipment of glass tubes.
Zhang rented a 1300 square meter plot (14,000 square feet) in November in a remote area of NH Trang, a common city for Chinese tourists, and it is claimed that it was recruited from two other fellow Taiwanese citizens with experience in drug manufacturing.
Activities were mainly performed at night and the semi -savior product was later transferred to another purification facility.
The drugs produced had a very high purity, but neither of them were distributed or sold in Vietnam or abroad, and the government statement referred to the police.
Vietnamese court sentenced 27 people to death in December after he found them guilty of smuggling more than 600 kilograms (1320 rugs) of drugs, including heroin, ketamine, and metamphitine.
Communist Vietnam enjoys some of the most difficult drugs in the world and routinely robbed the courts of death sentences.
Any person who caught with more than 600 grams (21 ounces) of heroin or more than 2.5 kilograms of methamphetamine can face the death penalty.
Vietnam is located close to the drug “Golden Triange”, where Laos, Thailand and Myanmar meet, where Vietnamese police say the work city is Ho Chi Minh in particular, it has become a growing position for the traders with the improved transport infrastructure in recent years.
