Police
in China have seized more than 65 million fake pills and arrested 114 suspects
during a four-month investigation into counterfeit drugs.
The Ministry of Public Security said in a
statement Friday that a criminal network extending over eight provinces used
starch or corn powder to make fake medicines and repackaged drugs past their
use-by dates.
The ministry says police also found animal
feed, chemical pigments and other ingredients that are harmful to people.
Police started the investigation after
discovering that a woman in central Henan province had substituted genuine
medicines with fake products in pharmacies.
The ministry says 1,000 police officers broke
up 117 dens that produced or sold fake medicine via websites or advertisements.
