The The Rhône Primary Health Insurance Fund (CPAM) decided to file a complaint after a large-scale drug fraud operation was noticed.
Transactions estimated at between 300 and 400 euros
Jérémy X, originally from Savigny, had visited “several pharmacies” with his “vitale card” and “false prescriptions from the medical oncology department of the Hospices Civils de Lyon”, sent via social network Snapchat.
He then had to pick up the medication and drop it off at “two men” for a “remuneration”.
Each transaction was estimated at between 300 and 400 euros. The individual, a drug addict and alcoholic, spent this sum on the purchase of drugs.
“This money that the CPAM paid to a The pharmacy is normally intended for allowances, to pay doctors or to reimburse medication to patients”, indicated the public prosecutor at the Lyon criminal court.
