Hard times for Viagra smugglers

The UK Border Agency has revealed that they seized over 8.5 million smuggled Viagra pills worth around £13 million during raids in 2010. The tablets were either fakes or illegally imported without license – either way, they are not subjected to the rigorous testing required of legitimate medicines sold in the UK and EU. Six million of the illicit pills were intercepted at Heathrow airport alone. UKBA have uploaded some photos which illustrate the scale of the operation at http://www.flickr.com/photos/49956354@N04/sets/72157626008296233/with/5476243522/
