From overseas purchasing to illegal production and sales, the people involved in the case spent dozens of years, through doctors matchmaking, to sell dozens of anticancer drugs to 30 provinces across the country, involving more than 10 million yuan. Approved by authoritative organizations, these anticancer drugs are fake drugs, and some do not contain active ingredients at all.

A box of medicines with the highest profit of 10,000 yuan does not contain active ingredients.
After receiving complaints in March 2016, Shenzhen police seized a large number of unsold counterfeit drugs and criminal tools at a certain express delivery office, the home of the case and the warehouse. Eight suspects including Chen Zhonghua, Liang Deyi, Peng Jingjing and Ji Weiwei were arrested.
According to the investigators, the principal person in charge of the criminal gang, Ji Weiwei, registered companies in Hong Kong and the Mainland respectively, first purchasing anticancer drugs from overseas suppliers. Later, the market for targeted drugs for treating tumors was better. The self-made capsules of the organizations were sold under the well-known anticancer drugs brands at home and abroad.
"The powder is brought from Hong Kong. I don't know what the ingredients are. Chen Zhonghua said that it is treating lung diseases. There are also medicines for treating leukemia. The labels are all foreign languages, I don't understand them, and they are shipped in white plastic boxes." Liang Deyi It is said that the medicines are all self-contained and the process is very simple. There is no refrigeration in the whole process.
According to the investigators, from September 2014 to March 2016, more than 30 kinds of fake anticancer drugs were sold by the people involved.
The sales price of these fake drugs is basically more than twice the purchase price, and the maximum profit of a box is 10,000 yuan. For example, the purchase price of “Gleevec†is 500 yuan/box, and the sales price is about 1,500 yuan; the price of “Merrohua†is 7500 yuan/box, and the selling price is 15000-17500 yuan.
Tested and identified by the China Food and Drug Control Research Institute and the Shenzhen Municipal Market Inspection Bureau, the anti-cancer drugs involved in the case, some of which do not contain active ingredients, and some are not approved. These drugs are not only beneficial to cancer patients, but also delay the disease. Some victims reported adverse reactions such as dizziness, vomiting, and limb weakness after taking it.
Doctors match the bridge express unimpeded
The reporter's investigation found that the people involved in the case mainly let the doctors match the drugs to the cancer patients and their families, and then deliver them by courier.
"We have gone to many places, and the top three hospitals have basically gone. Every hospital we go to the doctor's office and the ward. The selected departments are oncology and hematology." Liang Deyi said that they are carrying A quotation list of more than 70 drugs, all of which are cancer and blood diseases, many drugs have not been seen in China.
Ji Weiwei said that the sale of drugs is mainly sent by express delivery via the Internet. “Online sales have customers in all provinces except Tibet. Doctors who help me introduce business are generally divided into 10% of drug sales, and they are transferred through the accounts provided by them. There are more hospitals in Beijing, Shanghai and Hunan.â€
"The average daily delivery volume of the company is about 30, and it is sold by express delivery to all parts of the country. It is basically flowing into hospitals, clinics and individuals."

Purchasing "savage growth" regulation is not required to "bright sword"

China's Drug Administration Law strictly stipulates that the establishment of a drug retail enterprise must obtain the "Pharmaceutical Business License". Drug imports must be examined and confirmed to meet the quality standards, safe and effective before they can be approved for import, and issued to the import drug registration certificate. Lu Shengzhu, a lawyer of Guangdong Rongfang Law Firm, pointed out that in this case, criminal gangs purchased or produced anticancer drugs without the relevant documents. Although they were severely punished by law, they exposed the regulatory loopholes in China's pharmaceutical industry.
"Currently, anticancer drugs are mostly patented drugs monopolized by foreign capital. Due to high cost and small audience, the proportion of hospitals imported such drugs is strictly controlled, and pharmacies will not be in large quantities, which leads to the rapid development of overseas purchasing. Merchants join the ranks of drug purchasers." Shenzhen City People's Hospital oncology physician Li Wei said that while overseas purchasing "barbaric growth", the network and express delivery has become the main front for selling counterfeit drugs because of its unique convenience and concealment characteristics.
Hu Yimin, chief of radiology physics at the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, said that the behavior of overseas purchasing drugs was in the gray area of ​​legal supervision, and the drugs purchased directly from overseas without formal inspection by relevant domestic institutions were typical “three no productsâ€. In China, sales are prohibited. This kind of recommendation is recommended by professional medical staff, according to the buyer's description of symptoms, and relying on non-professional doctors to help patients order the purchase of drugs, which poses a threat to the health and safety of patients.
Hu Yimin believes that for overseas purchasing drugs, law enforcement agencies should strengthen the review and supervision at the source, and increase the investigation of drug-related license units. In addition, we must innovate the means and methods of supervision, relying on high-tech to strengthen online chat software. The screening and filtering of sales channels such as real-time communication tools, logistics express, and bank accounts eliminate the law enforcement blind spots of the industrial and commercial departments and public security organs.
