Belfast man fined £3,000 for importing illegal medicati

A Belfast man has been fined £3,000 for illegally importing unlicensed prescription medicines.
Following an investigation by the Department of Health’s Medicines Regulatory Group, Elias Warnemunde (33) was sentenced on Friday at Belfast Crown Court for unlawfully importing over 70,000 tablets of the narcolepsy prescription drug Modafinil.
He had previously pleaded guilty to three counts before the court of illegally importing the unlicensed drugs, unlawful possession and intention to supply.
In February and March last year, a multi-agency operation saw Border Force officers intercept a total of 21 packages containing the unlicensed drugs, imported from Hong Kong via the postal system.
The packages had been addressed to several Belfast addresses which were subsequently searched under warrant by the PSNI where further stashes of the drugs were found.
