Mossos Raid Suspected Illegal Medicines and Doping Network in Barcelona and Tarragona

Investigators are tracing profits through overseas companies linked to Estonia.

Overview

  • More than 150 officers carried out coordinated searches at homes and businesses in multiple locations across the two provinces.
  • Police say the group distributed pharmaceuticals and performance‑enhancing substances across Spain.
  • The operation is led by the Mossos' Central Consumption and Anti‑Money‑Laundering units with support from several specialized teams.
  • Europol and Estonia's police attended as invited observers due to suspected use of Estonian‑registered companies to launder proceeds.
  • Roughly six arrests are expected as the active case proceeds under judicial secrecy.
