Fight against illegal manufacture and sale of steroids in Poland

An illegal group that produced and sold anabolic steroids was busted by Poland’s police officers. More than 90 policemen and frontier police were involved in the investigation connected with this illegal company. Customers were chiefly from North America. Police officers detained 19 individuals: 6 women and 13 men. They were charged with illegal manufacture and sale of steroids and money laundering.
Investigators defined that the drug ring was dealing with steroids since March 2008. The group advertised steroids for obtaining of muscle mass and health in general. The preparations were offered for sale on internet. Persons from the USA, Canada, France, Belgium, etc. ordered and got illegal preparations.  Steroids were packed in fake packages and delivered to customers. There was a member of the group that was responsible for getting money and transferring it to members of the company.
Homes and business offices of the group were raided. Police found huge doses of steroids and packages that were prepared to be shipped abroad. Some cars, including BMW X6, Mercedes S500 and Jeep Grand, watches, jewelry and other objects were confiscated. The total value of confiscated objects and money was estimated. It was about 1 million Polish zlotys.
 It was determined by police that three persons represented the leadership of the illegal group. They face 15 years in jail.
This investigation conducted by Polish police officers turned out to be successful. It was not the first successful steroid investigation in Poland. Last year Poland’s police busted another illicit steroid ring. 7 individuals were detained. Approximately 80 police officers took part in that investigation. Police also identified medicines which were sold by that group.
