Opioid Distributor Miami-Luken Up On Federal Charges
- 5 years ago
Newser reports that once again, opioid distributors are up on charges.
Prosecutors indicted Ohio-based drug distributor Miami-Luken, and two of its former executives Wednesday.
They're accused of conspiring to shovel millions of painkillers into Kentucky, West Virginia, and Ohio.
The firm allegedly brushed aside "obvious signs" of drugs entering the black market from 2011 to 2015.
The now-defunct distributor sent out 120 million pills in seven years and made $173 million in sales annually.
