Zheng Xiaoyu (R), former Director of the State Food and Drug Administration, was sentenced to death for squeezing bribes from medicine companies totaling 6.49 million yuan. All his personal property was confiscated. One of the most notorious cases of bogus drugs was that of Qiqihar No. 2 Pharmaceutical Co Ltd, a privately-owned business in Heilongjiang Province, whose fake Armillarisin A injections killed 13 people.
