More than 51,000 black market medicines and prescription drugs have been seized in the Republic as part of a week-long international operation involving authorities in more than 80 countries.
The IMB – the Irish Medicines Board – the Revenue’s Customs Service and the Garda all took part in Operation Pangea IV, which targets the online sale of illegal drugs.
Overall, 2.4 million drugs worth more than €5 million were recovered and 13,495 websites shut down as a result of the global operation which involved law enforcement agencies, national medicines boards, internet service providers and payment systems providers.
