Two men responsible for attempting to put the dangerous liquid “rape drug”, so-called GHB, on the market have been arrested in Warsaw. The 44-year-old Pole and the 34-year-old Ukrainian face serious charges, and a court has ordered their temporary detention.
Attempt to Put Liquid "Rape Drug" on the Market
Officers from the Śródmieście district police tracked down two men with links to the drug underworld. As a result of the operation, a 44-year-old Polish citizen and a 34-year-old Ukrainian citizen were detained. They had significant quantities of drugs, including clophedrone, ecstasy and bottles of liquid GHB, commonly known as the “date rape drug”.
GHB is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gamma-hydroxybutyric acid that dissolves easily in beverages and drinks. Consuming this substance causes partial or complete loss of consciousness and impairs rational thinking, making the victim vulnerable to various crimes, such as theft or rape.
Vials Prepared for Distribution
During searches of the detainees’ residences, police seized several dozen small, empty vials that were meant to be filled with liquid GHB and sold on the black market. Polish and Ukrainian identity documents belonging to other people were also found, which further burdens the Ukrainian citizen, who will also answer for using other people’s documents.
Consequences and Legal Implications
Thanks to effective police action, the dangerous substances did not reach potential recipients, which may have prevented many tragedies. Both men were charged with possessing significant quantities of drugs and preparing them for distribution. They face up to 10 years in prison. The court imposed three months of temporary detention on the suspects.
