Lublin anti-drug officers detained eight men from Lublin and neighbouring
counties.[1]The men were aged 27 to 42, with three aged 27 and the others
aged 31, 37, 39, 40 and 42.[2]Police said most were linked to the pseudo-fan
milieu of a local football team, using the Polish term pseudokibice for
hooligan-adjacent supporter groups.[1]The District Prosecutor in Lublin
charged all eight with trafficking a significant quantity of drugs, described as
no less than 300 kg.[1]A court placed all eight in temporary detention
pending trial.[2]They face up to 12 years in prison under Poland’s anti-drug
law.[1]
Searches of the suspects’ homes and vehicles recovered significant quantities of
various drugs.[3]The seized substances included clephedrone, marijuana,
amphetamine and the potent psychoactive substance NEP.[3]Police put the
combined haul at nearly 100 kg.[1]Police estimated its black-market value at
about 5 million zloty.[3]Investigators said the drugs were intended for the
local market.[1]
The operation was led by the drug-crime department of the Lublin provincial
police under the supervision of the District Prosecutor in Lublin.[2]Officers
made the arrests successively over recent months in Lublin and other towns in
Lublin Voivodeship.[3]Officers from other criminal divisions of the
provincial force assisted the drug unit in the detentions and seizures.[2]
No separate cannabis-only weight was published; the nearly 100 kg figure covers clephedrone, marijuana, amphetamine and NEP together and is therefore excluded from cannabis figures.
No separate cannabis-only valuation was published; the figure of about 5 million zloty covers all seized drugs together and is therefore excluded from figures.
No separate dates for the individual detentions were published; the arrests were made successively over recent months, so 4 November 2026, the common publication date, is used as the incident date.
The charge description refers to trafficking of no less than 300 kg while the reported seized total is nearly 100 kg, and the sources do not explain the difference.
The submitted page image repeats the headline as its caption and does not establish what it depicts, and no direct address for the police video could be recovered, so no media entry is included.
The text gives a weight ("100 kg") but the figures have no kg_seized; check whether it belongs there.
