Federal Agents Arrest Healthcare Boss Over Drug Imports

Federal agents arrested a top executive from a Canadian healthcare company this week. Officials say the leader helped run a plan to ship foreign prescription medicine into the United States without approval.

Court records show charges against two company leaders. The business sells lower-cost medicines to American workers and local towns. Government rules require all imported drugs to meet strict federal safety checks first.

Millions of Americans look across the border for cheaper prescriptions. Regulators warn that outside supply chains can put patients at risk. Officials want to protect the domestic drug supply from unapproved pills.
