The mother in particular is blamed…
The mother is accused, in particular, of having scoured pharmacies in Pau and throughout France (Bordeaux, Dijon and the Paris region) to obtain delivery by fraudulent means (false prescriptions, identity theft) of Ozempic, an injectable antidiabetic drug which would be prized for its weight-loss effects, but also IUDs and contraceptive implants.

The drugs were then resold undercover. The damage is estimated at 83,000 euros.
“Well organized traffic”
The defendant, who was to be tried this Thursday in an immediate appearance, admitted the facts. Of Georgian nationality, this 38-year-old mother, in an irregular situation, has been traveling since 2017 between Georgia and France where she is hosted by relatives and in particular by her son in Pau.
The first facts date back to March 16, 2022 and “the latest date from September 26! “, the day before his arrest, underlines deputy prosecutor Marie Hirigoyen, specifying that it is an “organized gang scam”.

The magistrate speaks of “well-organized trafficking” where “she is certainly only a link”. “But she has prospered sustainably for several months,” she emphasizes, referring to the “photos found in her phone.” “She’s making a lot of money!” »
The incarcerated mother
The mother was placed in pre-trial detention pending the trial set for October 26, due to the delay requested by the defendant.
The son, 21, who has lived in Pau since 2017 and works under a work-study contract, was left free. His alleged involvement would be limited to making his CMU certificate available. He also “went, once, to collect medication on behalf of his mother”, explained the deputy prosecutor who did not require any security measure for him.
“My son has nothing to do with this story,” the thirty-year-old repeated several times. The CPAM has become a civil party.
