Center of international steroid ring located in Poland

A criminal group that was dealing with manufacture and sale of anabolic steroids was busted in Poland. Over 90 police officers and frontier police were involved in the investigation connected with this illegal steroid ring. Customers were mainly from North America. Police detained 19 persons: 6 women and 13 men. They were charged with illicit manufacture and sale of steroids and money laundering.
Investigators determined that the drug ring was dealing with steroids since March 2008. The company advertised steroids for increase 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 acquired illegal products.  Steroids were packed in fake packages and sent to customers. There was a person that was responsible for receiving money and transferring it to members of the drug ring.
Homes and business offices of the drug ring were raided. Police officers found huge quantities of steroids and packages that were prepared to be shipped abroad. Some vehicles, 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 defined by police officers that 3 individuals were leaders of the drug ring. They face 15-year imprisonment.
This investigation conducted by Polish police turned out to be successful. It was not the first successful steroid investigation in this country. Last year Polish police officers busted another illegal drug ring. 7 persons were detained. Approximately 80 policemen were implicated in that investigation. Police also reported about substances which were sold by that drug ring.
