Only yesterday we reported that a large number of dangerous amphetamine diet pills were coming out of Brazil and today the good news is that the Brazilian police have arrested a gang involved in the manufacturing and distribution of these pills.

According to new reports ten men were arrested after they were caught red handed with Emagrece Sim that is widely sold in America on the internet. Emagrece Sim is well known to health authorities and in recent months has been sold in another form called PEB-One and PEB-Two.
The gang was also charged with the crime of money laundering by the Brazilian authorities and the police are building a case to put them all in prison. It appears that the leader of the gang was in fact a woman who managed to escape without being arrested. Her name is Claudina Rodrigues Bonfim and she is 37 years old. Her house which was raided contained to expensive furnishings and beautiful works of art all of which led the police to believe that she must have been making millions from her criminal enterprise.
The police called the undercover operation which had been going on for months Venus and said that they had been watching the factory where the Emagrece Sim was made for some months before making their arrests. Emagrece Sim literally translates in Portuguese as “It Does Slim You Down”.
All of the Emagrece Sim tablets came in packaging which claimed that it was 100 percent natural. This was a complete lie and when the American FDA tested it, it was found to contain Fenproporex a non approved compound, as well as Chlordiazepoxide HCl and Fluoxetine HCl which are the ingredients of prescription drugs.
Many innocent people had been taking these weight loss tablets believing that they were taking something perfectly harmless. Some of them got into big trouble when they were asked to take drug tests by their employers as the amphetamines would show up in the test.
Emagrece Sim has also been known to have been sold as Herbathin.
