| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited [Regnum] In the US state of Louisiana, sheriff's officers seized one of the largest amounts of methamphetamine in the region's history—approximately 358 kg—from a Russian citizen during a highway search. The Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office reported this on August 12 on its Facebook page (owned by Meta, a company designated as extremist and banned in Russia). The incident occurred in Denham Springs. Officers from the canine unit stopped the truck for an inspection. Law enforcement identified the driver and discovered he was illegally in the United States and subject to deportation. The man was taken into custody, and a search of the semi-trailer was then conducted, where 358 kg of methamphetamine was discovered. The man remains in custody, and the investigation is ongoing. According to Izvestia, the detainee is 43-year-old Anton Rakov, a native of the Sverdlovsk region and a truck driver who previously registered as a sole proprietor in St. Petersburg. He worked in television and radio broadcasting and was also associated with a company manufacturing machinery and other equipment, which has also since been liquidated. In 2015, he arrived in the United States and remained there illegally. |
