According
to AFP, Interpol seized counterfeit drugs worth $7 million in September in an
operation encompassing 13 Asian countries, the police organization said on
Monday.
Medication
including antibiotics, anti-hypertension pills and even rabies vaccines were
taken from hundreds of pharmacies and markets, including dozens of online
pharmacies, as Interpol attempts to curb the widespread sale of fake drugs
being produced in the region.
Interpol
said in a statement they had arrested 87 individuals in the course of the
crackdown, which "brought together law enforcement and drug regulatory
agencies to target the organized criminal networks behind pharmaceutical crime
in Asia".
