FedEx Moves to Dismiss Drug Trafficking Charges

FedEx, after being indicted last year in connection with a Justice Department investigation on illegal drug shipment, has claimed that it should not be prosecuted on the grounds that its actions are protected under federal law.

The shipping company is currently facing charges of money laundering and delivering drugs for online pharmacies to customers who were not prescribed the medication. According to Bloomberg, FedEx is also accused of knowing its actions violated federal state and drug laws.
