Police raid fake sanitizer gel factory at chicken farm

Police have raided a chicken farm turned into a lab making unlicensed hand sanitising gel that was distributed to hospitals and medical centres all over Spain, even though it did not work. The makeshift lab was found in Boiro, a town in the province of A Coruna in northwestern Spain. In an interview with Newsflash, the Spanish Civil Guard said they arrested two men during the raid, which they named Operation Quimigel. Official footage of the raid was shared on the official Twitter page of the Civil Guard showing the illegal lab which had been set up in a chicken shed. Officers found 400 litres (105 gallons) of homemade gel in the ‘laboratory’, as well as successfully locating 6,400 litres (1690 gallons) of gel which had already been distributed to hospitals and medical centres in the country. The Civil Guard told News Flash that the gel, which lacks any disinfecting qualities, had been distributed all over Spain.
