Multi-million euro pharmacy fraud dismantled in Huelva

Policia Nacional in Andalucía have dismantled a criminal gang who defrauded social security to the estimated value of over €2 million.

Officers were involved in an investigation that lasted for more than two years, with the gang producing counterfeit documents to defraud the local health service.

Five people in Huelva have been detained, including a printer, a pharmacist and three pharmacy workers.
