The U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of Missouri sentenced SabahhadinAkman, an owner of the Turkish firm Ozay Pharmaceuticals, to 30 months imprisonment and a $150,000 fine for smuggling counterfeit, misbranded and adulterated cancer treatment drugs into the U.S., including multiple shipments of Altuzan, the Turkish version of Avastin.
In August 2014, Akman pleaded guilty to the same charges. Akman’s sentencing follows that of his business partner, OzkanSemizoglu, who in October 2014 was sentenced to 27 months in federal prison on similar charges.
