Prosecutor's office asks court to ban ProZdorovye newspaper and Zdravomed website in Russia

The Moscow City Prosecutor's Office has filed a lawsuit with the court demanding that the information posted in the free newspaper ProZdorovye and the online store Zdravomed be recognized as prohibited in Russia. This happened after a joint investigation by Izvestia and the Antikontrafakt Association.

"ProZdorovye" and "Zdravomed" have been advertising and selling herbal nutritional supplements and concentrates for preparing soft drinks to pensioners under the guise of medicines for a number of years.
