Polish police’s wars on illegal distribution of steroids

An illegal group that was dealing with manufacture and sale of anabolic steroids was busted by Poland’s police officers. More than 90 policemen and border guard were involved in the investigation connected with this illicit company. Customers were chiefly from North America. Police detained 19 persons: 6 women and 13 men. They were accused of illegal manufacture and sale of steroids and money laundering.
Investigators defined that the group was dealing with steroids since March 2008. The drug ring advertised steroids for obtaining of muscle mass and health in general. The preparations were offered for sale on internet. Individuals from the USA, Canada, France, Belgium, etc. ordered and acquired illegal medicines.  Steroids were packed in fake packages and sent to customers. There was a person who was responsible for getting money and transferring it to members of the drug ring.
Homes and business offices of the drug ring were raided. Police officers found large measures of steroids and packages that were prepared for shipment abroad. Several vehicles, including BMW X6, Mercedes S500 and Jeep Grand, watches, jewelry and other things were seized. The total value of confiscated objects and money was estimated. It was about 1 million Polish zlotys.
 It was defined by police officers that three persons composed the leadership of the drug ring. They face 15 years in jail.
This investigation conducted by Polish police officers turned out to be successful. It was not the first successful drug investigation in this country. Last year Poland’s police busted another illegal drug ring. 7 persons were arrested. About 80 police officers were involved in that investigation. Police officers also identified preparations which were offered for sale by that drug ring.
