Italian Police seizes 37 million units of painkillers made by Indian company destined for Islamic State terrorists

London: The Italy Police has seized 37.5 million pills of medication, tramadol, utilized by Islamist warriors.

Tramadol is an engineered opioid-like medication utilized as a painkiller.

The cargo, which was setting out toward Libya, had originated from India.

As per media reports, the pills were to be sold to Islamic State fear based oppressors in Libya to give them more prominent flexibility.

The 37 million tramadol pills, worth USD 75 million, were discovered pressed into three compartments at the port of Genoa, named as blankets and shampoo and set to be stacked on a tanker headed for Misrata and Tobruk in Libya, news office PTI cited The Times as saying.

"ISIS is making a fortune from this activity, offering it to its warriors to make them feel no pain," the British daily paper cited an Italian specialist as saying.

The Italian Police said the relegation had originated from India and would have been utilized for two purposes: to help back Islamist terrorism and for use by jihadist contenders as a stimulant and to uplift imperviousness to physical anxiety, the BBC announced.

Boko Haram, the Nigerian terror group, is said to bolster kid warriors dates loaded down with tramadol before sending them on missions.

ISIS is as of now known for bolstering its contenders Captagon, an amphetamine that pieces appetite, dread and exhaustion.

Italian specialists followed the tramadol shipment to an Indian pharmaceuticals company, which supposedly sold the pills for USD 250,000 to a Dubai-based merchant, which then dispatched them from India to Sri Lanka where they vanished from the vessel's archives, the report said.

The tramadol pills would offer for two dollars each in Libya, said the examiner.

A year ago, police at the Greek port of Piraeus found a compartment conveying 26 million tramadol tablets, initially from India and purportedly bound for a Libyan company with binds to ISIS, the report said.
