The Grand Jury charges:
At all times relevant to this indictment:
Parties. Persons, and Entities

4. Company A communicated with prescription drug customers in the United States through
the following people or aliases: John Doe #1,John Doe #2, John Doe #3, John Doe #4, John Doe
#5, and Jane Doe #1.
The Controlled Substances Act
5. The Controlled Substances Act ("CSA") governed the manufacture, distribution, and
dispensing of controlled substances in the United States. 21 U.S.C. 801-971.
6. Under the CSA, the United States Drug Enforcement Administration ("DEA") regulated
certain pharmaceutical drugs classified as controlled substances. Controlled substances were
classified under the CSA under five schedules - Schedules 1, 11. Ill, IV, and V. Drugs were
scheduled into these levels based on their potential for abuse, among other things. Schedule II
drugs have a high potential for abuse; their abuse may lead to severe psychological or physical
dependence. Schedule III drugs have a moderate to low potential for physical and psychological
abuse; their abuse potential is less than Schedule 1 and II drugs but more than Schedule IV.
Schedule IV drugs have a low potential for abuse; their abuse may lead to limited physical
dependence or psychological dependence relative to the drugs or other substances in Schedule
III. 21 U.S.C. 812(b)(2)-(4).
7. Oxycodone, a.k.a. Oxycontin, a.k.a. Percocet; Methylphenidate, a.k.a. Ritalin;
Hydrocodone; and Adderall were Schedule 11 controlled substances.
8. Temazepam, a.k.a. Restoril, was a Schedule IV controlled substance.
The Federal Food. Druu. and Cosmetic Act
9. The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, 21 U.S.C. 301-399f("FDCA"), regulated,
among other things, the importation, manufacture, labeling, and distribution of drugs and food.
The FDCA gave the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") the authority to
further regulate the importation, manufacture, labeling, and distribution of drugs and food to
protect the health and safety of the American public.
10. Under the FDCA,the term "drug" was defined in relevant part as (1) any article intended
for use in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease in humans; or (2) any article
other than food intended to affect the structure of any function of the human body. 21 U.S.C.
321(g)(1)(B) and (C).
11. Some of the drugs regulated under the FDCA were "prescription drugs." "Prescription
drugs" were those drugs, which, because of their toxicity or other potential harmful effects, or
the method of their use, or the collateral measures necessary to their use, were not safe for use
except under the supervision of a practitioner licensed by law to administer such drugs, or which
were required to be administered under the professional supervision of a practitioner licensed by
law to administer such drugs as a condition of the FDA approving any such drug to be placed on
the market. 21 U.S.C. 353(b)(1)(A)and (B).
12. Oxycodone, a.k.a. Oxycontin, a.k.a. Percocet; Methylphenidate. a.k.a. Ritalin;
Hydrocodone; and Adderall were Schedule 11 controlled substances available only by
prescription, 21 U.S.C. 829(c), and were prescription drugs within the meaning of 21 U.S.C.
353(b)(1).
13. Temazepam, a.k.a. Restoril, was a Schedule IV controlled substance available only by
prescription, 21 U.S.C. 829(c), and was a prescription drug within the meaning of 21 U.S.C.
353(b)(1).
14. The FDCA prohibited the introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate
commerce of any drug that was misbranded. 21 U.S.C. 331(a).

15. The act of dispensing prescription drugs without the prescription of a practitioner
licensed by law to administer such drug was an act which caused the drugs to become
misbranded while held for sale. 21 U.S.C. 353(b)(1).
16. None of Defendant H.^RRY ALIENGENA, Company A, John Doe #1. or any other
individuals doing business on behalf of Company A were approved to dispense prescription
drugs within Massachusetts at any time.

COUNT ONE: Title 21, United States Code,Section 963- Conspiracy to Import
Controlled Substances
17. The allegations contained in paragraphs 1 through 16 of this Indictment are realleged and
incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein.
18. Between on or about July 27, 2011 and on or about June 28, 2012, in Hampden County,
in the District of Massachusetts,
HARRY ALIENGENA,
defendant herein, did knowingly and intentionally combine, conspire, confederate, and agree
with others known and unknown to the Grand Jury, to import the following controlled substances
into the United States from a place outside thereof:
A. Oxycodone, a.k.a. Oxycontin, a.k.a. Percocet, a Schedule II controlled substance;

buyonlinemedicines.blogspot.com (which directed visitors to e-mail Company A to place
orders), and using the e-mail addresses buymedicines2010@gmail.com and
inlb@shopurmeds.com. Company A did not require that the customers be examined by a
physician before ordering the drugs, or to provide prescriptions or be licensed wholesalers or
pharmacists in order to purchase drugs.
B. Company A accepted payment for drugs from United States customers through
Western Union.
C. Because some customers believed or desired that the drugs they ordered were
coming from within the United States, and to guarantee faster shipping times and avoid seizures,

ALIENGENA,so that he could reship the packages from within the United States to the ultimate
customers.

ALIENGENA often used false return addresses so that packages could not be traced back to him.
