The Mossos d'Escaladra and the Civil Guard have searched the IRTA-CReSA laboratory in Barcelona.
On Thursday morning, the Mossos d'Escaladra and the Civil Guard searched the headquarters of the IRTA-CReSA laboratory in Bellatera (Barcelona) on the occasion of the African swine epidemic detected in Catalonia at the end of November. Agents entered the building near Ground Zero by court order.
The search has been ordered by Examining Court No. 2 of Cerdanyola del Vallès, which has explained that the case is being investigated as an alleged environmental offence and that the necessary security protocols and measures are being complied with for entry and registration in these facilities in such research centres.
The IRTA-CReSA (Animal Health Research Center) laboratory has been under suspicion for days because the first infected boars were found near the facility.
The Mossos d'Escaladra investigating the virus, together with the Nature Protection Service of the Civil Guard, sent the first report to the Cerdanyola courts on December 9.
In addition to this investigation, the Generalitat has requested the IRTA-CReSA laboratory to carry out an inspection of the appearance of the broth in one of the five centres dedicated to animal research (all within a 20-kilometre radius), including IRTA-CReSA itself, which are at the focus of the investigation.
The virus first detected in the Spanish State since 1994 has endangered the export of Spanish pigs.
