Interpol claims it’s the largest ever global operation targeting organized criminal networks that sell fake medicines. The operation, dubbed Pangea VII, resulted in 237 arrests worldwide and the seizure of almost US$36 million worth of illicit and potentially dangerous pharmaceuticals over the course of a week. Authorities got 19,000 rogue pharmaceutical advertisements removed from social media websites and shut down over 10,600 websites. A large online spam business has developed around fake online pharmacies, fueling the production and distribution of malware.”]
