Thousands of fake Viagra and Cialis pills were recently seized in a joint effort by the Israel Police and the Health Ministry's Unit Against Pharmaceutical Crime.
A few weeks ago, the authorities received information that an importer and distributor of sex toys had imported large amounts of empty capsules and sold them to the illegal drug industry whose products are sold in kiosks. The drug unit of the Customs Authority at Ben-Gurion Airport was informed.
Inspectors examined shipments brought in by this importer, and the empty capsules were found. No legal documents were available. More recently it was learned that this same man distributes large amounts of phoney Viagra and Cialis pills. A Petah Tikva warehouse owned by the importer was searched, and 1,500 pills were found. Legitimate erectile function pills sell for about NIS 60 apiece, thus the potential black-market profits are huge. The man was arrested and is being questioned by the police.
