It's a page two type story from ARD (public German TV, Channel One) that ought to concern a lot of Germans, but most probably won't see it. ARD reports of a police raid episode. This raid took place in the German state of Baden-Württemberg, and in Hungary/Switzerland. The target? Fake cancer drugs.
So what is said is that some pharmaceutical wholesaler in the region of Baden-Württemberg is suspected of getting into fake cancer drugs about a year ago.
Cops say....you have to believe that they know what they are talking about....that there was never any danger to cancer patients. Whatever was in the original product....was copied clearly enough to be 'safe'.
So the guy in question made up the pills.....the package itself....and the information sheets that go into each box. He went to a lot of trouble.
His cut of profit? Unknown.
How this was figured out? A second pharmaceutical wholesaler picked up on the fake drugs at some point.
