According to reports in the Ertzaintza, an alleged offence of illicit trafficking in a drug has just emerged, an operation in which two detainees and an investigator have been arrested in Gipuzkoa, where 52,000 doses of a drug were reportedly found that was intended to be used for illegal sale.

As reported on Sunday by the Department of Safety of the Basque Government, the investigator is responsible for a pharmacy in Gipuzkoa , a product for which he has made "high orders" over the past two years.



The events took place early Friday morning. Agents of the Ertzaintza located a van near garages in Usurbil and identified the driver. The driver allegedly went to pick up a cargo to transport to another autonomous community.

The officers found that there were six large bags inside. These bags contained smaller ones, and included thousands of doses of a "known drug," about 20,000 .

At that time, the man who allegedly delivered the goods to the driver of the van was identified. He got the drug in Gipuzkoa and then sold it illegally.

The two men, aged 24 and 54, identified in Usurbil, were arrested for a public health offence.

On Friday, another 22 boxes containing nearly 32,000 dosesof the same drug were found in a storage room in Usurbil.

The Usurbil Local Police, for their part, handed over to the Ertzaintza another box containing 830 doses of the drug, with the same batch number.

Investigations into the origin of the drug have been carried out by the Ertzaintza in collaboration with the Distributor Pharmacy of Gipuzkoa, and in the last two years a was located a pharmacy in Gipuzkoa that has made "high orders" ofthe same drug .

"The 41-year-old manager of that pharmacy probably got the drug, so he is under investigation in police proceedings," the Department of Safety and Security said.

The Ertzaintza investigation remains open and the two detainees will be brought before the Donostia Guard Court today.
