Hotel meeting "joint", pharmacy "cover" shipment -- Investigation on the chaos of toxic and harmful health products
2022-03-17
Recently, Mr. Huang, a citizen of Chongqing, bought a box of health care product "golden Viagra" in an adult products store. After taking it, he felt unwell and was diagnosed as heart failure by the hospital. Police investigation found that the health care product contains prescription drug ingredients banned by the state from being added to health care products, and the added content is 16 times the medical dose recommended by the state. Eating it may lead to cardiac arrest, heart failure and blindness. The reporter combed a number of such cases in recent years and found that although relevant departments continued to crack down on illegal food and drug crimes in order to protect people's life safety and health, toxic and harmful health products are still banned repeatedly. Some criminals have also established criminal networks that radiate across the country and have hidden channels, covering the whole chain of "raw materials - production - Sales - hook up", connected "joints" in many places across the country through organized underground health products fairs, and "covered" goods with regular pharmacies and health products stores. Underground health products trade fair forms a "one-stop" of production and marketing After receiving Huang's report, Chongqing police monitored the crime and arrested the suspect. More than 10 kinds of illegal health care products were seized at the scene, with a total of thousands, involving an amount of more than 20000 yuan. In January this year, the suspect in the case was arrested according to law. According to the police handling the case, in such cases, the underground health care products fair is the key chain to form a criminal network. The so-called underground Health Products Fair is divided into "venue fair" and "Hotel fair". "Venue fair" is the first step, that is, criminals distribute leaflets and business cards outside or inside the venues of the legal health products fair to develop customers and establish contacts; "Hotel fair" is the second step, that is, to hold internal fairs in some small hotels and invite customers met at the "venue fair" to participate in the transaction. The underground health care products fair has opened up the production and marketing channels, and there is no worry about buying fake raw materials and selling the "products". Liu, a suspect in a case, confessed that he had made acquaintance with suppliers through the "Hotel Association", and purchased metformin and sildenafil and other illegal raw materials to produce health products. He has repeatedly issued business cards at the "venue meeting" to meet and develop Wang and Yang as dealers. In the investigation of such cases, the police found that compared with the way of "guerrilla warfare" at the "venue meeting", the "hotel meeting" is more mature and well-organized, and is convened by a specially assigned person. The frequency is generally once every 15 to 30 days, and the location is changed frequently. Criminals obtain the gathering time and place through "insiders" guidance, online search, wechat attention and other ways. At the "hotel meeting", criminals can also exchange views with each other, exchange and teach the ingredients and dosage of illegally manufactured and sold food and health products, such as how much medicine can be added to have "curative effect" and "not kill people", and even teach the experience of how to evade market supervision and public security organs. Regular pharmacies have become "strongholds" for selling fake goods Toxic and harmful health products can eventually flow into the market, and another key link is the sales terminal. In the case, the suspect collocation the regular pharmacy or health care store, or rent a counter in it, or sell the fake and health products in the regular shops that he runs, and attract customers by false propaganda, and sell the fake health products to make profits by consumers' trust in regular pharmacies and health care stores. Wang, a case suspect, confessed that he took a regular pharmacy near a third class hospital in Chongqing as a stronghold, rented a counter in the pharmacy, placed regular health products on the counter, and kept health care products at the counter and in the warehouse. In order to direct customers to the pharmacy, he made propaganda newspapers and asked special personnel to distribute them in squares, stations, residential areas and so on. It is difficult to distinguish the names of consumers from the addresses of regular pharmacies. At the same time, it also exaggerated the efficacy of its aphrodisiac and hypoglycemic products with propaganda words such as "thirty years of hypoglycemic drugs are not as good as a handful of immortals", claiming that they are invalid and refunded. In order to evade supervision and attack, criminals also "try their best" when selling fake goods, and form a contactless fast selling mode through wechat transfer and express delivery. A case suspect Xu Mou confessed that she only recommended regular health products to customers. If customers mentioned buying fake health products on the leaflets, she would send fake health products to the door. When customers only buy regular health care products, she will send fake health care products by mail. As the "effect" of fake health care products is more fierce, many customers will inevitably "enter the pit" after trial. Strengthen supervision and crackdown The police handling the case said that at present, the regulatory authorities continue to strengthen the investigation and punishment of all kinds of toxic and harmful health care products. However, due to the hidden form of crime, it is urgent to strengthen measures and overall strength. According to the police handling the case, a box of "health care products" with a cost of only a few yuan is transformed into a "magic medicine" for lowering blood sugar and blood pressure after packaging, and the selling price can be as high as more than 500 yuan. In the case of Mr. Huang's murder, the suspect Yang admitted that he sold 80-100 yuan a box of health products to customers, and the purchase price was only 3 yuan. Fake health care products not only defraud the victims of "hard-earned money", but also endanger their health. According to the police handling the case, the dosage of many fake health products is uneven, which can lead to poisoning and other symptoms. In severe cases, there will be renal metabolic dysfunction and even sudden death. The police handling the case suggested that relevant departments should further strengthen the qualification examination and whole process supervision of the organization, undertaking and exhibition of the underground health care products fair, so as to squeeze the living space of the underground health care products fair; Public security organs should strengthen regional coordination and linkage and effectively crack down on crimes in the field of food safety; Procuratorial organs should further improve and implement the punitive compensation system of civil public interest litigation for food safety, so as to truly realize the "consistency of excessive punishment"; Postal departments should strengthen the supervision of delivery channels, strictly implement the real name and inspection system of receipt and delivery, and give early warning and rejection in case of problems.
