On the Internet, he ordered a fake seal in the name of a DOCTOR at a private medical center and prescription forms, and then filled them out with fictitious patient data.

"Using prescriptions , he repeatedly purchased medical drugs in pharmacies that are prohibited for free over-the-counter sale. After his prescriptions were accepted, the accused decided to sell several fake prescriptions through social networks," the prosecutor's office said. The man's

wife was alarmed by the large number of prescriptions she found at home. In a conversation with her husband, she found out what drugs he was buying and the reason for his strange behavior.

He will undergo compulsory treatment for ALCOHOLISM and substance abuse. The sentence has not entered into legal force. it can be appealed and protested.
