A NEW York pharmacist has
admitted to criminal diversion of
prescription medications and taking
bribes in a case involving a US-wide
scheme to divert HIV drugs.
55-year-old Glenn Schabel
also pleaded guilty to money
laundering, with the convictions
part of an “Operation Black-Market
Meds” investigation undertaken by
state Attorney-General.
The case stemmed from the 2012
discovery that Schabel and others
were using fake prescription drug
wholesalers in several states.
They used the networks to
launder money and sell more
than US$274 million in diverted
medications from illegal or
unknown sources - including some
that had been previously dispensed
and then resold on the black market.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 15 Apr 16 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 15 Apr 16
