Successful steroid investigation in Poland

A criminal group that was dealing with manufacture and sale of anabolic steroids was busted in Poland. More than 90 police officers and frontier guard were implicated in the investigation linked with this illegal drug ring. Customers were mainly from North America. Police officers arrested 19 individuals: 6 women and 13 men. They were charged with illicit manufacture and sale of steroids and money laundering.
Investigators determined that the group was dealing with steroids since March 2008. The group advertised steroids for getting of muscle mass and well-being in general. The drugs were offered for sale on internet. Persons from the USA, Canada, France, Belgium, etc. placed orders and got illegal medicines.  Steroids were packed in fake packages and delivered 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 group were raided. Police officers found large quantities of steroids and packages which were prepared to be shipped abroad. Some cars, including BMW X6, Mercedes S500 and Jeep Grand, watches, jewelry and other objects were seized. The total value of seized objects and money was estimated. It was circa 1 million Polish zlotys.
 It was set by police officers that 3 individuals were leaders of the drug ring. They face 15 years in prison.
This investigation conducted by Polish police officers was successful. It was not the first successful steroid investigation in this country. Last year Poland’s police busted another illegal drug ring. 7 individuals were detained. Approximately 80 policemen participated in that investigation. Police officers also reported about preparations which were found in possession of that drug ring.
