Department of Health and Police officers have arrested three people for possessing and selling an unregistered pharmaceutical product called Calcium & Vitamin D.

 

The officers today raided a medicine company in Jordan found to be selling the drug, and instructed the distributor to recall it.

 

The imported product was labelled as containing vitamin D, which is a pharmaceutical. A Hong Kong pharmaceutical product registration number was not found on its label.

 

Two salesmen, aged 51 and 20, were arrested for the illegal sale and possession of an unregistered pharmaceutical product.

 

The product's distributor in Kwai Chung was also raided and a 47-year-old man was arrested on the same charge.

Police issued 135 fixed-penalty tickets and 110 summonses to motorists and pedestrians who violated traffic regulations during a crackdown in Kowloon East yesterday.

 

About 250 officers were sent to enforce regulations at traffic accident blackspots and potential traffic accident locations.

 

Another 334 tickets were issued for parking offences, and 23 pedestrians were warned for jaywalking and other minor offences.

 

 

A 22-year-old Mainlander was jailed for 10-and-a-half years by the High Court today for money laundering.

 

Police found the man bought a local company through a secretarial company in July 2009. He then opened a bank account in the name of the company and a personal bank account for money laundering involving a total of $13.1 billion in suspected crime proceeds.

 

Officers arrested the man on January 28 last year. He was charged with one count of dealing with property known or believed to represent proceeds of an indictable offence.

 

A total of $5.88 million in the two bank accounts was restrained. Police will apply to the court to confiscate crime proceeds in accordance with the Organised & Serious Crimes Ordinance.
