Police agencies worldwide seized $65 million (€57.2 million) worth of counterfeit or unapproved medicines in a major international bust that took aim at the deluge of cheap fakes sold online.
Between December and May, authorities in 90 countries – including 16 in the European Union – confiscated 50.4 million doses of drugs that were either fake, misbranded, unapproved, or diverted, according to the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol), which coordinated the operation.
