Florida Medical Clinic Manager and Son Charged with Running Pill Mill
The scathing truth about a so-called ‘medical clinic’ in Brandon, Florida has been exposed, with the Clinic’s manager Yolanda Camara and her son Justin Oliveria facing federal charges for operating a ‘pill mill’.
The Family Medical Express Center, Inc., located at 107 W. Robertson Street in Brandon, was allegedly turning a blind eye to the misuse of prescription medication, specifically Oxycodone, a highly addictive opioid.
According to the indictment, Camara and Oliveria conspired to distribute controlled substances outside the usual course of professional medical practice and without a legitimate medical purpose. Oliveria, an employee of the clinic, was directly involved in the operation, while Camara, a part-owner and manager, allegedly turned a blind eye to the illicit activities.
The investigation, led by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the St. Petersburg Police Department, uncovered a trail of evidence that led to the indictment of Camara and Oliveria. Assistant United States Attorney Daniel George will be prosecuting the case.
Camara and Oliveria face serious penalties if convicted, including up to 20 years in federal prison for the conspiracy count and up to 20 years on each of the drug distribution counts. Camara is also charged with lying to federal investigators, a charge that carries a maximum penalty of five years’ imprisonment.
The indictment also notifies Camara and Oliveria that the United States intends to forfeit a Brandon residence and seek a forfeiture money judgment of at least $709,651.75, which are alleged to be traceable proceeds of the offenses.
Camara and Oliveria are presumed innocent until proven guilty, according to the indictment. However, the evidence against them appears to be overwhelming, and it’s likely that they will face a lengthy and grueling trial.
The case highlights the growing problem of pill mills and prescription medication abuse in Florida. The investigation and subsequent indictment serve as a warning to those who would seek to exploit the medical system for personal gain.
