The investigation on the front lines of fentanyl has now gone international, with south Florida as the epicenter.
The Justice Department recently announced the indictments of eight Chinese companies and 12 of their executives from the Middle and South Districts of Florida.
The companies and suspects are accused of shipping the precursor chemicals used to make fentanyl.
“We know who is responsible for poisoning the American people with fentanyl,” said Attorney General Merrick Garland.
