I do not know how they could possibly convict FedX for this. But I do know that for years, FedX cooperated with Federal, State and local investigators. They would cooperate by allowing access to their hubs to have drug dogs conduct sniffs of suspicious packages. They would allow use of their vehicles and uniforms to make controlled deliveries of said packages to make a bust.
I strongly suspect the Feds just put an end to that cooperation.
It doesn’t sound to me that this is about dope — it’s more like people order medications that are non-addictive, just cheaper buying it outside the US, or not available in the US, because of the excessive FDA requirements.
This is not about drugs you can sniff...
It’s about foreign manufactured Viagra and Cialis.
It’s about protecting their big Pharma donors like Pfizer.
