Businessmen charged with selling counterfeit drugs

A suburban New York pharmaceutical company sold more than $17 million in counterfeit, misbranded or unapproved drugs, including for cancer and birth control, according to a federal indictment unsealed Wednesday against the two men in charge of the business.

 

Great Neck-based Pharmalogical, Inc.’s William Scully, 45, of Commack, and Shahrad Rodi Lameh, 40, of Manhasset, pleaded not guilty in U.S. District Court in Central Islip. Bond was set for each at $500,000.
