Spanish police raided a leading animal health research laboratory on Thursday as part of an investigation into whether a recent outbreak of African swine fever originated from research facilities.
Officers from the Mossos d'Esquadra, Catalonia's regional police force, and the Guardia Civil entered the IRTA-CReSA laboratory in Cerdanyola del Vallès following a court-issued search warrant. The facility is being investigated for potential environmental crimes related to the outbreak discovered in late November.
