The actor Vasily Prokopyev, recognized for his work in the television series The Gromovs and Son of the Father of Nations, was reported to be in possession of narcotic substances when a bag was found in his possession. This information emerged from a report by TASS, citing law enforcement officials familiar with the case. The incident appears to have occurred in Moscow, where local police indicated that Prokopyev was stopped at Belorussky railway station. At the time, the 32-year-old performer was allegedly under the influence of alcohol. During a routine check, authorities allegedly uncovered a plastic bag containing a small quantity of an unspecified substance weighing about 0.11 grams, and further examination suggested that Prokopyev had a substance derived from mephedrone in his possession. The developments prompted a formal investigation to determine the exact nature and source of the material, as well as the actor’s possible involvement in its distribution or use. The case adds to a broader pattern of drug-related incidents involving public figures, raising questions about the balance between personal accountability and the influence of celebrity status in high-profile investigations. The factual timeline remains under scrutiny as investigators pursue additional material to corroborate the initial findings and to establish whether the substance met the legal criteria for controlled narcotics under applicable regional laws.
