Confidentiality Level : INTERPOL For official use only FROM: Operation Pangea Coordination Team, INTERPOL TO: Mr. Jan Horak, CEO, Gransy COPY: NCB Prague; US FDA; LegitScript OUR REF: EDPS/SCA/MPCPC/PANGEA/GRANSY YOUR REF: NEW SUBJECT: Operation Pangea: 2013 RAA 3.18 Abuse Notification – LegitScript/INTERPOL Dear Jan, Following up on the below messages from US FDA and LegitScript related to illicit online pharmacy domains leased by Gransy, INTERPOL would like to take this opportunity and inform you of a worldwide operation that is currently underway, combatting the illicit sale of medicines online, called Operation Pangea. Operation Pangea is an annual international week of action tackling the online sale of counterfeit and illicit medicines and highlights the dangers of buying medicines online. Coordinated by INTERPOL, the annual operation brings together customs, health regulators, national police and the private sector from countries around the world. Over the past two years, through the excellent cooperation with compliant registrars, Operation Pangea was able to suspend over 30,000 illicit online pharmacy websites, which posed a significant threat to public health. This year, Operation Pangea consists of over 100 countries around the world, banding together in combatting rogue internet pharmacies and protecting public health. One of these participating countries is the Czech Republic, where your registrar Gransy is based. We have therefore taken the opportunity to copy the INTERPOL National Central Bureau (NCB) in Prague, Czech Republic, for their information and possible questions regarding Czech national legislation on the illegal sale of prescription medicines online. Please do not hesitate to contact the INTERPOL Operation Pangea Coordination Team if you should have any further questions regarding Operation Pangea. We thank you very much in advance for your efforts to protect public health on the Internet.
