Thessaloniki: Bodybuilder-Influencer Indicted for Anabolic Steroids Trafficking

A bodybuilder-influencer in Thessaloniki has been indicted on felony charges and is being held in custody pending his testimony. Police dismantled a criminal group involved in the supply and trafficking of anabolic steroids and dietary supplements.

Over 5,200 capsules, 362 injectable vials, and nearly 16 kilograms of anabolic powders, pharmaceuticals, and dietary supplements not approved by the E.O.F. (National Organization for Medicines) were seized from his gym. An air pistol and a blank firing revolver were also confiscated.

The Organized Crime Division of Northern Greece made the three arrests on Friday, March 20, 2026. The defendants operated a gym and store, selling the illegal substances, and maintained a website to promote their products.

The anabolic steroids were intended for athletes to improve their athletic performance. The arrested individuals are being led to the competent prosecutor's office.
