Judge orders Chinese drug cartel pay Akron family $18 million for son’s death
WEWS: Andrew Pollis, professor of law, weighed in on a Summit County judge’s decision to order a Chinese-based organized crime group to pay an Akron family $18 million in damages for the 2015 overdose death of their son. Pollis noted that seeking damages from an international criminal organization will be challenging, but he said the action in court could serve to raise awareness and as a deterrent for would-be drug traffickers stateside.
