According to the report, a total of 13,470 units of products named "30 SLIMMING" and "MAX SLIM", voluntarily submitted by citizen O.L.S., were sent to the Central Customs Laboratory of the Customs Committee for examination. The conclusion revealed the presence of a potent substance — sibutramine — in these products.
It is known that sibutramine is considered a banned substance in some countries. Its uncontrolled use can lead to severe consequences such as disruption of the cardiovascular system, increased blood pressure, and a heightened risk of stroke and heart attack. Particularly, its covert sale as a "slimming product" deceives the population, especially women, thereby significantly increasing the risk of serious harm to their health.
During the rapid operation, a "rapid experiment" was conducted with the aim of fully exposing the criminal chain, leading to the primary source of the products. As a result, it was established that several stores in the O'rikzor shopping complex additionally possessed 15,504 units of suspicious medicines.
A total of 28,974 units of medicines with an estimated value of 500 million soums, as well as "slimming women's coffee" containing sibutramine, were seized as material evidence, and the relevant procedural documents were formalized.
This case once again demonstrates that behind the "miraculous slimming" products in illegal circulation lies a serious threat to human health. Customs authorities continue to consistently implement measures to prevent such situations.
