This Thursday, National Police agents have arrested a man for the illegal sale of medicines over the Internet, according to the Police Headquarters in La Coruña (Spain). He also stored depressants, narcotics and enhancers for erectile dysfunction at his home, all of them ready to be distributed. The man acquired them over the internet from foreign countries, paying from different online accounts to hinder its tracking. Specifically, the police pointed out that the detainee got to use up to ten email accounts in order to multiply the number of ads and to complicate his location. In addition, he bought the medicines through websites outside Spain using stealth techniques such as the use of TOR network or the virtual money Bitcoin. The operation began when the investigators detected numerous online advertisements offering weight loss medicines and whose sale is prohibited in Spain. After analyzing this information (including the emails used for their publication and the different IP addresses for their insertion), the agents were able to determine the relationship between all the shipments that the investigated man had made throughout the national territory. Then the officers arrested him and searched his house, where they discovered that the man bought the medicines in foreign websites.
