💨 Abstract

Two Indian companies, Raxuter Chemicals and Athos Chemicals, based in Surat, have been charged for conspiring to illegally import fentanyl precursor chemicals into the US and Mexico. Bhavesh Lathiya, the founder of Raxuter Chemicals, was arrested in New York for the same offenses. Fentanyl is a highly potent synthetic opioid, and the precursors are essential for its production.
