Officers from the National Police have dismantled the most active clandestine anabolic and hormone laboratory in Europe.
The factory was located in Valdepeñas (Ciudad Real), where 3,000,000 completed doses and 65 kilos of active ingredient of various drugs were intervened with which another 38,000,000 could be manufactured.
A total of 21 people have been arrested and charged and 20 searches have been made at homes and business premises in Ciudad Real, Cádiz, Almería, Castellón and Málaga.
The dismantled organisation was “multi-criminal” by combining drug trafficking with the manufacture, storage and distribution of illegal medicines through cells distributed throughout Spain, in addition to preparing “potions” or “combos” mixing illegal drugs for direct injection.
With a production capacity close to 1,000 kilos a year, they had 30 different types of products and used two exclusive brands that gave them their own identity.
AEPSAD –Spanish Agency for Health Protection in Sports- has provided vital information and advice for the successful development of research.
