From the story:

But about 3m doses of Combivir - a third of the supply - was diverted back to Europe by profiteering wholesalers as it arrived at the African airports or even earlier. "There are indications that perhaps some of these batches never even left Europe," said Alan Chandler, a Glaxo spokesman.

Looks to me like the wholesalers bought the stuff, then decided to resell it for a mega profit in Europe. Not quite the same thing as an out-and-out hijacking.

I agree. From the way it was presented, it looked to me like the sort of "mafia-it-fell-off-the-back-of-the-truck" thing.

But from that line it does look more like it was more of the "Enron-Worldcom-type-ethics" thing.
