The drugs are said to be made in Pakistan and used at night clubs in Europe and the US. The arrest was a culmination of months-long joint effort and monitoring by intelligence agencies of several countries.
The US authorities had sought help from the Pakistani authorities and law enforcement agencies to bust the network involved in the production of libido-enhancing medicines in Pakistan and their smuggling to the US and Europe.
Sheeraz Malik, a Pakistani settled in Poland, was arrested by authorities as he arrived at Prague from Dubai. He was a frequent traveller between Pakistan, Dubai and Poland.
According to sources, he had been receiving orders of banned medicines from Europe and USA on the website of Shama Medical Store. The orders were sent to customers through mail in the guise of food items. According to sources, Sheeraz’s network has the capacity of processing orders of up to one lakh doses per week. He is also said to be involved in smuggling of heroin. According to the sources, the US intelligence agents had been chasing the network since 2008 and had coordinated with the secret outfits of other countries in the hunt. They had also placed orders of these drugs with Sheeraz who supplied them regularly.
Among the drugs supplied by the man include Ephedrine, Ecstasy or DMA, Steroids, Aprazolam, Lidocaine, Ketamine, Benzylpiperazine, and Oxycodon.

Some Paki`s destroy the name of the country which is already in a very bad state.
At least, this Pakistani will not be beheaded like in Saudi Arabia and will be entitled to a fair trial.
At-least we make drugs that can be exported ;)
Now this arrest will be called the hatred of west towards Pakistan while in another news Saudia has beheaded a Pakistani drug smuggler and the apologists will be like "Mashallah lets treat all criminals like Saudia does". Oh the hypocrisy.
