FedEx conspired to traffic in controlled substances and misbranded prescription medications by helping distribute drugs for illegal Internet pharmacies, an indictment from a federal grand jury in San Francisco alleges.

The shipping company knew as early as 2004 that it was delivering drugs to dealers and addicts, Thursday's indictment says...federal prosecutors allege that FedEx couriers in Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia at different times expressed concern to executives, recounting instances of drivers being threatened and prescription drugs being shipped to addresses that included parking lots, schools and vacant homes.
