Escambia Man Indicted For Selling Fake Viagra
July 24, 2013
An Escambia County man is facing federal charges for selling fake Viagra through the mail.
Robert P. Galea, 53, was indicted by a federal grand jury on charges that he trafficked in counterfeit Viagra and fraudulently executed a scheme to deliver the misbranded pharmaceuticals through the United States Postal Service.
Galea made his initial appearance in federal court on 10 counts of trafficking in counterfeit drugs, selling misbranded drugs, and mail fraud. The indictment alleges the counterfeit drugs were obtained from sources in other countries, including India.
A jury trial for Galea has been scheduled before Judge Casey Rodgers on September 9. If found guilty of trafficking in counterfeit drugs or mail fraud, Galea faces up to 20 years in prison.

Why is it that trafficing misbranded drugs and mail fraud carries a stronger sentence that selling illegal drugs?? Are you trying to tell me that there is not illegal drugs going through the postal system? I can bet you that the amount of illegal drugs going UPS, Fedex and postal is just as much if not more than the “misbranded drugs”. Don’t get me wrong this is still wrong what was done, but don’t we have unsloved murders, thefts, and other crimes that are not getting taken care of.
