Five people have
been indicted on 44 counts of illegally purchasing and
distributing HIV drugs by the U.S. Attorney's office in New
Hampshire. According to The Boston Globe, a New
Hampshire woman and four men from California were able
to acquire large quantities of Serostim, an injectable
drug manufactured by Serono SA.
The indictment
claims that Beth Handy arranged for the sale using
falsified documents. The drugs were then shipped to
California to distributors who thought they were
purchasing them from a wholesaler. The attorney's
office disclosed that the operation generated nearly
$963,000 in illegal proceeds. (The Advocate)
