New state-fed working group will target illegal opioid suppliers

STATE HOUSE — Attorney General Maura Healey will announce the formation of a new state-federal coalition to meet regularly to share information and cooperatively prosecute prescribers, pharmacists and others who illegally supply opioids, according a senior official in the attorney general's office.
Healey plans to detail the partnership at a 1:30 p.m. press conference Thursday in her office with the local heads of the F.B.I., the Drug Enforcement Administration and the inspector general's unit within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
