Florence prosecutors have placed
12 people under investigation on suspicion of conspiracy to
counterfeit botulin-based cosmetic surgery products, judicial
sources said Wednesday. The products were disowned by the only
company authorised to sell botulin products in Italy. The
products originally come from the UK. The same probe is
investigating an unauthorized trade in packages destined for
Turkey. The main suspect id a drugs wholesaler in Vinci near
Florence, while searches also took place in Naples where phials
of fake botulin were produced. Police said charges of
counterfeiting products could be laid against those under
investigation.
