Specifically, the indictments allege the defendants knowingly manufactured, marketed, sold, and supplied precursor chemicals for fentanyl production in the United States in violation of federal law.
The Office of Public Affairs at the Justice Department has announced significant charges against China-based chemical manufacturing companies involved in the illicit production of fentanyl. Additionally, arrests have been made of executives involved in the manufacturing and distribution of this deadly synthetic opioid.Fentanyl has been a major contributor to the opioid crisis in the United States, causing countless overdose deaths and devastating families and communities. The Justice Department is taking a strong stance against those who are fueling this epidemic by targeting the manufacturers and distributors of this dangerous drug.
The charges and arrests made in this case are a significant step in combatting the flow of illicit fentanyl into the United States and holding those responsible accountable for their actions. The Justice Department is committed to working with international partners to dismantle the illegal drug trade and protect the public from the devastating effects of fentanyl.
