The judge may rule that possessing such a large quantity of GBL is a preparatory measure for that production. Yesterday the public prosecution and the police started an initiative against the sale of GBL over the internet. 22 companies that sell the substance received an e-mail with an urgent call to stop. It is not clear whether the discovery of today was at one of the 22 companies.
