10% of drugs are fake. €75 billion per year. A dangerous global trade investigated.

The WHO estimates that 10% of medicines circulating worldwide are counterfeit. This illicit trade is worth more than €75 billion annually, a booming market that directly threatens public health.

This episode of Black Dollars investigates the criminal supply chain: from clandestine manufacturing to distribution networks, forged packaging and money laundering. Through on-the-ground reporting, archive footage and expert testimony, we expose how the fake drug trade operates, who profits, and the human and health consequences that follow.
