Fake ‘skinny jabs’ produced in China are being smuggled into the UK in a black market described as “more dangerous than the supply of cocaine and heroin".
Tony Saggers, former Head of Drugs Threat and Intelligence at the National Crime Agency, told ITV News “People are putting substances in their bodies that are high risk of either hospitalising them or potentially even killing them.” Saggers believes the UK authorities should be doing more to tackle this supply chain.
Eli Lilly, the pharmaceutical company that manufactures Mounjaro, told ITV News those responsible are putting “lives at risk.” Head to the ITV News website for the full story.
