Organiserad brottslighet dominerar illegal läkemedelshandel

Illegal drug sales are becoming an increasingly serious problem in Sweden Criminal organizations frequently purchase active substances from China mix them in Sweden or another EU country and then resell them online A new report recommends that the Swedish Customs Board be granted broader powers to inspect shipments coming from other EU countries and that penalties for violations of the Medicines Act should be stricter What this survey reveals is that the issue may be more widespread than previously assumed It happens across a wide range of locations throughout Sweden targeting Swedish consumers and that people are simply sitting around mixing and preparing fake medicines in basements and garages all across Swede And then sells it at a very high profit So it might be somewhat new but we already knew it was bad That's precisely why we assigned this task — to assess the scope and also propose moving forward with it What type of illegal medication is most common The most common drugs used by ordinary consumers are weight-loss medications and these are also performance-enhancing drugs What we're seeing is that these pages are also occasionally linked to doping medications And we have information from the police that the individuals behind these websites often operate multiple sites A couple of pages aimed at ordinary consumers who wouldn't consider buying doping agents or narcotics And there instead weight-loss medications are sold Then on the Darknet or other more encrypted forums the same individuals sometimes sell performance-enhancing drugs and occasionally narcotics
