DEA protects Pharma racket by charging FedEx with felony crimes for delivering prescription drug packages
Ethan A. Huff naturalnews.com The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) has taken a new leap toward tyranny with a major federal lawsuit filed against parcel courier FedEx, bringing outrageous charges of conspiracy to distribute controlled substances and drug trafficking. The lawsuit, which seeks hundreds of millions of dollars in payoff, represents the latest effort by the DEA to protect the interests of the prescription drug cartel, which is threatened by internet pharmacies that operate outside the approved system.
Since the early 2000s, alleges the suit, FedEx has aided illegal pharmacies in the transport and distribution of controlled substances without a prescription. In its 27-page indictment, the federal government accuses FedEx of conspiring to distribute controlled substances and "misbranded drugs," as well as trafficking these substances in violation of the U.S. Controlled Substances Act and the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act... The DEA claims in its suit that FedEx was warned at least six times since 2004 that illegal pharmacies were using its delivery service to transport prescription drugs and other controlled substances. The implication here is that FedEx has known about the problem for some time but has done little about it.
In the company's defense, FedEx says it attempted to gain access from the government to information about the illegal pharmacies on numerous occasions, but to no avail. Rather than assist FedEx in rooting out these bad businesses, the DEA instead ignored the requests, only to later file a federal lawsuit against FedEx for crimes it never committed.
"FedEx... repeatedly asked the government for a list of illegal pharmacies so it would know which ones not to do business with," adds Businessweek.
If convicted, FedEx faces fines as high as $820 million, which would add "meaningful costs and delays to an already overburdened U.S. transportation network," warned a Wall Street analyst. to read more: naturalnews.com
