One of Puerto Rico’s biggest distributors of pharmaceutical drugs was ordered to pay $12 million after being accused of not reporting hundreds of suspicious orders for controlled substances, the U.S. Justice Department said Monday. Drogueria Betances, LLC is accused of not reporting at least 655 orders for fentanyl and at least 113 orders for oxycodone from 2016 through June 2019. The orders were considered suspicious given in part their frequency and size, the department said.
In addition, the company was ordered to improve its compliance program and report suspicious orders to the DEA, among other things. Drogueria Betances said in a statement that while it agreed to pay the fine and strengthen its system to report the distribution of controlled substances, it rejected allegations that it had an inefficient system to monitor suspect orders.
