Internet celebrity Guo Meimei is involved in the sale of banned weight-loss drugs


Official media attention


The Shanghai Public Security Bureau recently uncovered a case involving the manufacture and sale of banned weight-loss drugs, seized a large number of toxic weight-loss health foods, and arrested 75 suspects, including Guo Meimei, an internet celebrity known as the "sister showing off wealth." Guo Meimei’s re-arrest aroused the attention of the official media, and the comment emphasized that “whether it’s fake identity, show off wealth, open casinos, perform business, engage in sales, etc., no matter who it is for any purpose, as long as it challenges the legal authority, the law will let who Pay the price."


In December last year, the Economic Investigation Detachment of the Pudong Public Security Bureau learned that some people peddled weight-loss drugs containing sibutramine through advertisements on the Internet, claiming that special-effect weight-loss foods would allow users to "slim out the perfect curve" in order to attract young beauty lovers. . After several months of investigation, the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau, together with public security agencies in many provinces and many places, unified the network on the 18th of last month, destroyed 3 production plants and 24 sales stations, and seized more than 65,000 toxic and harmful weight-loss health foods and about 34 kilograms of production. Raw materials, 3 production equipment and more than 20,000 pieces of outer packaging.


The Paper commented that the reason why Guo Meimei did not take the usual path may have something to do with her native family. She was born in a single-parent family in Yiyang, Hunan. Her father had a history of fraud and her mother had long-term leisure services such as bathing, sauna and tea art. Her growth environment may have shaped Guo Meimei today to a certain extent.


Guo Meimei showed off her wealth on Sina Weibo in 2011 and caused controversy about her involvement with the Red Cross Society of China; later for participating in online gambling, she was sentenced to 5 years in prison for opening a casino in September 2015 and was released on July 13 of the previous year. .

網紅郭美美涉售違禁減肥藥再陷官非 官媒關注


上海市公安近期破獲一宗製售違禁減肥藥物案,繳獲大量有毒減肥類保健食品,抓獲75名疑犯,包括有「炫富一姐」之稱的網紅郭美美。郭美美再度被捕事件引起官媒關注,評論強調「不論是假冒身份、炫富、開賭場、商演、搞銷售等,無論是誰出於甚麼目的,只要挑戰法律權威,法律就會讓誰付出代價。」

浦東公安分局經偵支隊於去年12月,得悉有人在網上透過廣告兜售含有西布曲明的減肥藥,宣稱特效類減肥食品可讓用家「瘦出完美曲線」,以吸引年輕愛美女性。經過數月偵查後,上海市公安於上月18日連同多省多地公安統一收網,搗毀3處生產工場、24處銷售站,查獲逾65,000粒有毒有害減肥類保健食品、約34公斤生產原料、3台生產設備以及逾20,000件外包裝。

澎湃新聞評論指,郭美美之所以不走尋常路,或許與她的原生家庭有一定關係。她出生在湖南益陽的一個單親家庭,父親有詐騙前科,母親長期經營洗浴、桑拿、茶藝等休閒服務。她的成長環境,可能一定程度上塑造了今日的郭美美。

郭美美於2011年在新浪微博炫富並牽扯上中國紅十字會引起爭議;後因參與網絡賭博,於2015年9月被依開設賭場罪判處入獄5年,前年7月13日刑滿釋放。
