They all ended up in prison on remand. Yesterday morning, the Carabinieri of the Monza Group notified eight precautionary custody orders in prison to as many people residing, mostly, in the municipalities of the Magentino area. Among them is also a doctor who has a clinic in Marcallo con Casone and lives in Inveruno. Measures signed by the judge for preliminary investigations at the Court of Monza Andrea Giudici. At the base of everything there would be the doctor who prescribed opioid drugs used in pain therapy to patients who in reality did not need those drugs that were taken from pharmacies and sold on international markets.
The people who turned to him for the recipe appear to be residents of Magenta, Corbetta, Cuggiono, Inveruno, Marcallo, in the Pavia area and in Cologno Monzese. Some originally from Egypt (five), three Italian. In fact the drugs were intended for trafficking. The prescriptions included prescriptions for opioid medications such as Oxycontin, an opioid analgesic used in pain management. Oxycodone is one of the most used opioid painkillers in the world and widely administered to cancer patients. Used in the medical field, under very strict supervision, for the treatment of moderate to severe pain when normal treatments do not bring results.
The recipes often included the administration of contramal, also used for pain therapy. Among those arrested and subjected to the precautionary measure, only one of them was a doctor. The others were just “patients” who turned to him for the prescription and then went to the pharmacies to get the drugs. The investigations were apparently started after a report from some suspicious pharmacists regarding requests for opioid drugs in quantities significantly higher than normal. Which triggered investigations by the Monza Prosecutor’s Office. The investigation, which started from Seveso (Monza), ascertained trafficking in opioids purchased with false prescriptions issued in return for payment by the obliging doctor who in one year issued 750 prescriptions for over 1300 packs of drugs, then resold on the black market of drug dealing drug.
