Huge steroid ring in Poland

An illegal group that manufactured and sold anabolic steroids was busted in Poland. Over 90 police officers and border guard were involved in the investigation connected with this illegal steroid ring. Customers were chiefly from North America. Police officers detained 19 individuals: 6 women and 13 men. They were accused of illicit manufacture and distribution of steroids and money laundering.
Investigators set that the drug ring was dealing with steroids since March 2008. The drug ring advertised steroids for enhancement of muscle mass and well-being in general. The medicines were offered for sale per internet. Persons from the USA, Canada, France, Belgium, etc. ordered and acquired illicit medications.  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 steroid ring were raided. Police officers found huge dosages of steroids and packages which were prepared to be shipped abroad. Several cars, including BMW X6, Mercedes S500 and Jeep Grand, watches, jewelry and other things were confiscated. The total value of seized objects and money was estimated. It was circa 1 million Polish zlotys.
 It was set by investigators that three individuals composed the leadership of the criminal group. They face 15-year imprisonment.
This investigation conducted by Polish police was successful. It was not the first successful steroid investigation in this country. Last year Poland’s police busted another illicit steroid ring. 7 individuals were arrested. About 80 police officers participated in that investigation. Police also identified medicines that were offered for sale by that drug ring.
