Poland’s police succeeds in fight against illegal sale of steroids

A criminal group that manufactured and sold anabolic steroids was busted in Poland. More than 90 policemen and frontier police were involved in the investigation connected with this illicit business. Customers were mainly from North America. Police arrested 19 individuals: 6 women and 13 men. They were charged with illegal manufacture and sale of steroids and money laundering.
Investigators defined that the group was dealing with steroids since March 2008. The company advertised steroids for getting of muscle mass and health in general. The medicines were offered for sale per internet. Persons from the USA, Canada, France, Belgium, etc. placed orders and got illicit medicines.  Steroids were packed in fake packages and sent to customers. There was a person that was responsible for getting money and transferring it to members of the company.
Homes and business offices of the steroid ring were raided. Police found huge measures of steroids and packages which were prepared to be shipped abroad. Several vehicles, including BMW X6, Mercedes S500 and Jeep Grand, watches, jewelry and other objects were confiscated. The total value of seized objects and money was estimated. It was about 1 million Polish zlotys.
 It was set by police that 3 individuals composed the leadership of the illegal group. They face 15 years in prison.
This investigation conducted by Polish police turned out to be successful. It was not the first successful drug investigation in this country. Last year Polish police officers busted another illegal drug ring. 7 persons were detained. About 80 policemen were implicated in that investigation. Police officers also identified medications which were offered for sale by that group.
