Six people have been detained, suspected of having operated a black pharmacy via the internet. They are suspected, among other things, of illegal manufacturing and sales of weight loss medicine.

The six individuals – three men and three women from the Karlstad area – were arrested last week and detained on Friday for crimes against the pharmaceutical law, which NWT has previously reported on.

Deputy Chief Prosecutor Sofie Derke tells Svensk Farmaci that the police have seized, among other things, semaglutide, that is, the substance behind the Danish bestseller Ozempic.

It is still preliminary investigation secrecy and very early in the investigation, so I cannot say much about it really. But what we suspect is that there has been manufacturing and sales of pharmaceuticals in a way that contravenes the pharmaceutical law, she says to the magazine.
