Unveiling of a broad-based doping distribution network - Europe must fulfill its responsibility and intervene.

In an unprecedented turn of events, a case involving the illegal production and trafficking of doping substances in Munich will be heard at the Munich I Regional Court on Friday. The case, unlike any the investigators have seen in years, resembles the US series "Breaking Bad" in its scale, although it involves different substances.

The Customs Office describes the case as "unusual", with the seized preparations and raw materials being unlike anything seen in the past five years in terms of size and scope. A total of 240,189 doping tablets and 32 liters of ready-made doping substances in various ampoule sizes were seized.

The defendant, who is accused of exceeding the permitted non-negligible amount under the Doping Substances Ordinance by over 25,000 times, according to the public prosecutor's office, will stand trial on Friday. The person's identity, however, is not disclosed in the provided search results.

The case involves an underground lab in Munich, the exact nature and scale of whose operations remain unknown. The German Press Agency reported on the seizure of doping substances by the Munich Customs Investigation Office.

Last year, the Munich Customs Investigation Office conducted 142 investigations into criminal cases involving pharmaceutical and doping substances. This case, being the first of its kind, is not yet reflected in these numbers.

The hearing for this case is scheduled for 9:30 AM on Friday at the Munich I Regional Court. The case shares some similarities with a family man making a lot of money with his home drug lab in the series "Breaking Bad." However, it is important to note that the facts presented here are based on the available information and do not imply any comparison to the fictional events depicted in the series.

As the trial unfolds, more details about the case may come to light, shedding more light on this unusual and significant event in Munich's criminal history. Stay tuned for updates.
