Мокра психопоръчка от наркобарони, целта е да го побъркат и вкарат в лудница.

English translation:'wet job’ or ‘wet work’
Explanation:
Мокра поръчка = ‘wet job’ or ‘wet work’, the term comes from Russian slang expression anyway, so that’s why it sounds as it is.. also ‘whack’, ‘burn’ or ‘make’… If your narrative follows a more informal & ‘authentic mob’ language and you know what happens to the character, may be you could do the sentence: Drug barons to order a wet job, by driving him crazy and put him in a nuthouse…
Мокра психопоръчка от наркобарони, целта е да го побъркат и вкарат в лудница.
I hope this helps, after all it’s only a matter of style and consistency
