Interpol seizes €6.5m worth of illegal medicines posing 'significant threat to consumer safety'

The medicines 'represent a major source of income for transnational organised crime groups and support other crime activity', Interpol warned.

Interpol has seized over €6.5m worth of illegal medicines and shut over 1,300 criminal websites in a major crackdown across 89 countries, including Ireland.

Erectile dysfunction medications were the most commonly seized products at 22% of the total haul, followed by psychotherapeutic agents, including anti-depressants at 19%.
