Previously, "fake slimming coffee was found to contain illegal drugs!" New developments have been made in the case in recent days.

In January 2019, the Shanghai Yangpu Public Security Bureau received a report from a biological products company that someone falsely used the name of the company to produce and sell the so-called "world-giving slimming coffee" for illegal profits. in terms of price, the cost of a box of coffee was only more than ten yuan, but some lawbreakers sold the product to 298 yuan a box through online sales.

At that time, a number of consumers in Shanghai said: after eating this slimming coffee, they will have serious physical discomfort such as palpitations.

From the packaging point of view, this "left-handed gift" of "slimming coffee" packaging is very formal, such as "production license number", "health license number" and other elements are complete.

However, after an in-depth investigation, the police found that this "slimming coffee" is a slimming coffee with the ingredient of the illegal drug sibutramine. After police investigation and verification, the factory name and address of the manufacturer marked on this coffee product are all fake, and the identification results also show that the product contains sibutramine, which is forbidden by the state.

According to Baidu encyclopedia explanation

Sibutramine is mainly used in the treatment of obesity, for obese patients who are unable to control and lose weight through diet control or physical exercise. Sibutramine can be used as an auxiliary drug for obese patients in the process of losing weight. some countries have found that the use of sibutramine may lead to serious death, and many patients who take sibutramine have dry mouth or frequent urination, palpitations and so on.

Sibutramine is a prescription slimming drug that needs to be taken under doctor's advice. Taking sibutramine without authorization may cause symptoms such as elevated blood pressure, fear of eating and constipation. In addition, since 2010, China, the United States, Canada, Japan and other countries have issued laws declaring that all slimming drug manufacturers containing sibutramine must stop production, sale and use, and list sibutramine as a banned drug.

In late March 2019, the police arrested nine suspects, including Han and Hong, and seized more than 5100 boxes and 120000 bags of slimming coffee, about 165kg of drug raw materials (sibutramine powder), and four sets of production equipment, involving more than 5000 million yuan.

At present, the person involved in this case has been sentenced to corresponding punishment. In a typical case jointly issued by the Supreme people's Procuratorate, the General Administration of Market Supervision, and the State Drug Administration, it was disclosed that Han and Hong mixed slimming coffee with sibutramine, which was prohibited by the state, and sold it on a large scale on the Internet, with a sales amount of more than 8 million yuan, endangering the physical and mental health of many consumers.

The Shanghai Railway Transport Court sentenced Han and Hong to be guilty of producing and selling toxic and harmful food, sentenced Han to imprisonment for 15 years, deprived of political rights for three years, and fined 10 million yuan. Hong was sentenced to 12 years' imprisonment, deprived of political rights for one year, and fined 7 million yuan.
