Overview
- Arrests were made across 13 provinces after a probe into the illegal online sale of controlled medicines.
- The inquiry began with a large seizure at a Benavente parcel company that traced back to falsified private electronic prescriptions in a single doctor's name.
- An alleged document forger sold fake scripts, a main collaborator distributed them via messaging apps, and identified bank‑account holders acted as money mules.
- A home search in Majadahonda uncovered large quantities of psychotropics, narcotics, forged medical stamps and prescriptions, and computer equipment.
- Authorities link the seized drugs to 'karcubi' production with shipments toward North Africa, and the detainees have been presented to the Majadahonda court as the operation remains open.
