The laboratory was equipped with a reactor with a volume of about 1,000 litres, equipped with the necessary equipment and apparatus for the synthesis of synthetic drugs, which was in working order. 

Among those detained is the organizer - a 57-year-old Dutchman, who financed the purchase and construction of the laboratory, as well as the provision of people with the necessary knowledge for the production of synthetic narcotic substances.
