New drug delivery method: a prisoner seized a sheet of paper soaked with a substance

At the Central Prison of Cyprus, guards uncovered an unusual method of drug smuggling. One of the inmates was found with an A4 sheet of paper soaked in an unknown narcotic substance. The incident occurred during morning hours on October 9 during cell inspections.

The sheet had been pre-cut into small squares intended for consumption: the drug was meant to be placed under the tongue. Experts estimate that one such sheet may contain up to several dozen doses.

It is assumed that synthetic cannabinoids, known as "spices," were used for soaking. These substances easily absorb into paper and remain practically invisible, making them convenient for illegal transfer into correctional facilities.

In addition to the sheet of paper, prison staff also found a crystalline substance resembling methamphetamine. All found materials were seized and sent for laboratory analysis.

It is noted that previously the inmate was not considered problematic. He now faces disciplinary measures as well as possible additional sanctions according to institutional rules.

The prison administration stated that after this incident, inspections will be intensified, particularly regarding items that could be used to conceal and deliver prohibited substances.
