WANTED: DEAD BODIES

17.12.2012

Germany was to stop the purchase of dead bodies from Ukraine for Forensic Medicine Institutes. It is related to the investigation undertaken by the Security Service of Ukraine according to which not always the bodies were used for strictly academic purposes. Lyubov Frolova was asked to give permission for autopsy of her son’s body in order to take some tendon that is used for creation of valuable medicine for newborn babies. Two months later the Security Service of Ukraine stopped the minibus of German Research Institute Tutogen Medical GmbH. The transport was overloaded with bodies among which the body of Lyubov’s son was also found.

Later it appeared that one of the owners of German Institute, American Company RTI is involved in scandal related with illicit manipulations of corpse. The dentist Michael Mastromarino who lost his license on professional activities due to drug-related problems used to supply major research institutes with corpse from Ukraine among clients of which there was RTI.

Investigators do not exclude that drug dealers were among clients of scientists, it is well known that drug dealers have been using this specific method of smuggling for long time. One may ship the load with HR and pass customs with no check-ups. The same situation happenned in 2005 when the body of officer died in Afghanistan was shipped with smuggled money and drugs. One can recall the case of Frank Lucas, the prototype of the American Gangster movie, who used to ship drugs in coffins with bodies of Vietnam War officers. One coffin could be stuffed with 17 Lbs of drugs.
