Illegal online medication dealers have been raided 

The regulatory body for monitoring the sale of pharmaceutical products made raids in nine countries.  The nine countries raided were Britain, Germany, Israel, Ireland, USA, Switzerland, Singapore, New Zealand and Canada.  The raid, which was named Pangea, saw the seizure of a lot of illegal fake medicines, which were to be sold over the internet.  These medicines are often ill manufactured and dangerous to the health of its recipients.  Officials say they are cracking down and anyone found selling these fake drugs over the internet will be caught and prosecuted.  Officials say using the internet legally with prescribed documents and under regulated companies would be a good way of reducing the cost of medication and increasing competition, but selling unregulated illegal drugs will be prosecuted.
