FedEx Corp. was charged Thursday with conspiring with Internet pharmacies over a decade to deliver drugs that were illegally bought online without a prescription, transactions that federal prosecutors said brought the package-shipping company at least $820 million in revenues. A federal grand jury in San Francisco indicted FedEx and two affiliated companies on charges of plotting with two pharmacy groups to distribute medications, including narcotics, to customers who had no legitimate medical need or valid prescription for the substances. The grand jury also said FedEx couriers in Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia had warned the company as early as 2004 that their trucks were being stopped by pharmacy customers demanding packages of pills and threatening them with harm, and that some of the listed delivery addresses were vacant homes where carloads of people were waiting for their drugs.
