23 July 2011The Palestinian Authority's customs agency seized a batch of slimming pills in the Jenin district on Saturday.
“Custom agents informed police at the Allenby crossing about two suspects, and as one of them arrived from Jordan, police alarmed us. We followed them until they arrived home in Jenin, and we caught him red-handed," Director of PA customs agency Ghalib Diwan told Ma'an.
The seized pills came from a fake imitation brand manufactured in China called Ultra Slim and Seven Slim, which are originally manufactured in Lebanon, Diwan said.
The pills were tested in Jordanian laboratories and reportedly contain carcinogens, he added.
