Department of Justice Announces
DEA Seizures of Historic Amounts of Deadly Fentanyl-Laced Fake Pills in Public Safety Surge to Protect U.S. Communities
Mexican criminal drug networks
are mass-producing illicit fentanyl and fentanyl-laced fake pills, using chemicals sourced largely from China, and are distributing these pills through U.S. criminal networks.
These fake pills are designed to appear nearly identical to legitimate prescriptions such as
Oxycontin®,
Percocet®,
Vicodin®,
Adderall®,
Xanax® and other medicines.Criminal drug networks
are selling these pills through social media, e-commerce, the dark web and existing distribution networks.
As a result,
these fake pills are widely available.The Department of Justice
will continue to collaborate closely with its international partners, within Mexico and around the world,
to aggressively investigate and prosecute the members of these drug networks.
These fake pills are more lethal than ever.
DEA laboratory testing reveals that
today, four out of 10 fentanyl-laced fake pills contain a potentially lethal dose.
Moreover,
the number of fake pills containing fentanyl has jumped nearly 430% since 2019.OPA | Department of Justice
