On 16 February 2022, a joint operation between OLAF and the Polish police dismantled a gang that dealt with counterfeit medical products, such as medicine to treat erectile dysfunction, anabolic substances and growth hormones. The value of the seized goods is estimated at almost €9 million. OLAF assisted by retracing the smuggling route of the goods which stemmed from Asia and were imported to Poland via other EU countries.
