AFP Shuts Down Illegal Online Pharmacies

Federal Police have shut down several Perth-operated websites, which were illegally selling prescription drugs. The move is part of a year-long American operation, called Cyber Chase, against an internet pharmaceutical trafficking ring, in at least five countries.

The global syndicate is alleged to have generated an illicit income of more than $US100 million a year.
