The Drug Enforcement Administration (ΥΚΑΝ) has reported a significant increase in drug seizures, comparable to those in Latin America. In just 11 months, 785 kilograms were seized, compared to 600 kilograms last year. Most of the seizures involve cannabis, followed by cocaine, with new types of drugs appearing in the form of jelly candies. The ΥΚΑΝ continues its efforts to combat these illegal activities through cooperation and information gathering from abroad.
