BIG PHARMA FRIENDS –
Feb. 13, 2025 – Following a three-week trial, Yousef Ennab, 27, and Mohamed Hassan, 34, both of Brooklyn, were found guilty on charges of conspiracy to dispense and distribute oxycodone, as well as distribution and possession with intent to distribute oxycodone, according to court documents. Prosecutors allege the two licensed pharmacists were part of a large-scale operation that used illegal medical prescriptions to obtain oxycodone for distribution across the city, as Hassan held ownership stakes in more than a dozen pharmacies throughout Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island that conducted business under the names: Nile RX, Nile Ridge, Nile City, Sunset Corner, Prospect Care, Downtown RX and Forest Care, among others.
