Officers of the State Security Service (SSS) thwarted an attempt to distribute a large batch of dangerous medicines worth over 2.9 billion soums. Among the seized medicines were drugs such as Tradezol, Smarcol, Argiten, Tinargin, Ferrolik, Neoxil, Recaspar, Heptin, and others. According to expert analysis, some of them lacked certificates of conformity, while others were found to be of poor quality and unfit for use. This posed a serious threat to the health of those who might have purchased and used these medicines.
The operation took place in the city of Urgench, where local authorities discovered 64,452 units of various pharmaceutical products in the possession of a resident. It was revealed that these medicines were stored with the intent of being sold from a cluttered warehouse lacking proper conditions.
The examination was conducted by the Pharmaceutical Products Safety Center of the Ministry of Health, which confirmed that a significant portion of the seized medicines did not meet quality standards.
Based on these findings, a criminal case has been opened against the detained citizen under Article 186-3, part 3, point “a” (production, manufacturing, acquisition, storage, transportation for the purpose of sale, or sale of substandard or counterfeit medicines or medical devices committed on a particularly large scale) of the Criminal Code, and an investigation is underway.
According to the law, the penalty for this type of crime is imprisonment for eight to ten years.
