Makes sense why seedsman has opted to have locations in multiple countries instead of holding everything in Spain.

What happened wasā¦the raid happened in Oct ā20. I read other articles whereas the āCannabis criminals/Cartelsā were tapping into Electrical Grids, bootlegging Power to their multi-greenhouse operations. I think the āLegalā companies were swept up in the crackdown. Sometimes thereās a conflict in E.U. rules and individual countriesā rules.

Iām not sure I believe that part. It even said in the paper I was reading they were paying millions in taxes, why would a legit company making that much risk everything over a power bill. Even the other charges sounded made up lol

According to publications, the defendants are accused of an alleged crime against public health, criminal organization, money laundering, and power theft.
What has attracted most attention in the cannabis industry is that Dinafem and Pot Sistemak are being accused of promoting the use of an illegal substance, providing cannabis seeds to their clients, posting cultivation tutorials, sharing advice and videos on social networks, etc.
Another rather strange aspect of the incident is that Dinafem has been accused of āincreasing its profits significantly by increasing the prices of its products,ā which is what every normal company does in order to ensure a profitable business. In fact, there are other industries that benefit even more from their sales, such as digital information products.
It is also extremely surprising that the Civil Guard needed support, or even technical advice, from the Spanish Medicine Agency and the Ministry of Health in order to carry out this operation.
