Dalibor Kabov and Berry Kabov were convicted in January 2017 of multiple charges including conspiracy to distribute narcotics, conspiracy to import controlled drugs and money laundering.
The Kabov brothers pocketed more than $3 million from the fraud scheme. The brothers were the operators of Global Compounding Pharmacy, which was a fake pharmacy.
“In the midst of a national opioid epidemic, these defendants used a seemingly legitimate pharmacy as a front to flood the black market with dangerous opioids for their own personal profit,” U.S. Attorney Nick Hanna told NBC Los Angeles. “The lengthy sentences imposed should send a resounding message that medical and pharmacy professionals who seek to profit from the spread of opiate addiction will be met with severe punishment.”
