The Shanghai Yangpu Public Security Bureau received a report from a biological products company saying that someone was using the name of the company to produce and sell the so-called "Slimming Coffee" to make illegal profits. The police investigation found that the packaging of this "slimming coffee" looked quite formal. On the pink packaging box, the "production license number" and "health license number" were all listed.

However, after police investigation and verification, not only did the reporting company never produce this "slimming coffee", but these so-called formal licenses and approval numbers were also forged. The identification results showed that the product contained the ingredient sibutramine, which is prohibited by the state.

Sibutramine is a central nervous system depressant with stimulant and anorexia effects. This drug must be taken strictly according to the doctor's instructions and the dosage must be controlled. Once abused, it can cause insomnia, constipation, elevated blood pressure, difficulty breathing, gastroenteritis and other symptoms.

This harmful “slimming coffee” is favored by consumers who don’t know the truth.

During the investigation, the police found that there are many "micro stores" selling this "slimming coffee" on online social platforms, involving many places across the country.

Following the clue of "Weidian", the task force quickly discovered the main "shipper" of this product in Shanghai, Mao Mou, and got hold of its warehouse in Pudong New Area.

After combing and analyzing the sources of goods, capital inflows and outflows of Mao and several other micro-stores, the police found that their final upstream suppliers were Han and his wife from Shangqiu City, Henan Province. Hong Moumou.

On the one hand, the investigators pretended to be buyers to contact the couple on the Internet platform, and on the other hand, they conducted investigations around their activities in Shangqiu.

After several days of tracking, it was discovered that Han and his wife often went to a three-story building in a community on the outskirts of Shangqiu.

This building may seem ordinary, but there is always the buzzing sound of stirring and processing machines coming from inside the building. In addition, freight vehicles arrive every two or three days to transport boxes of goods to express delivery transfer points a few kilometers away.

Shanghai Yangpu police quickly confirmed that the transshipment cargo was the "slimming coffee" involved in the case.

The police seized more than 5,100 boxes and 120,000 bags of slimming coffee, about 165 kilograms of pharmaceutical raw materials (sibutramine powder), 4 sets of production equipment, and the amount involved was more than 50 million yuan.

A box of slimming coffee that costs only 8 yuan is sold to consumers for 298 yuan. From 2018 to the incident, the gang has sold more than one million pieces of slimming coffee containing sibutramine.

In the end, the Shanghai Railway Transport Court convicted Han and Hong of producing and selling toxic and harmful food, and sentenced Han to fifteen years in prison, deprivation of political rights for three years, and a fine of 10 million Yuan; Hong was sentenced to 12 years in prison, deprived of political rights for one year, and fined 7 million yuan.
