FBI redirects medical supplies to New York health-care staff after seizing shipment from Canada

A truckload of medical supplies shipped from Canada to an American accused of profiteering has been intercepted by authorities, who are now redirecting nearly 200,000 surgical masks to doctors and nurses.

U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation agents arrested 43-year-old Baruch Feldheim on Monday in New York, which is among the global epicentres of the coronavirus crisis. U.S. authorities say he is at the centre of the first concluded case of many similar price-gouging investigations related to COVID-19 equipment that are already under way.

U.S. authorities are invoking recently enacted emergency laws to crack down on price-gouging. Similar laws exist in Canada, but they have not yet been enforced, even amid mounting fears about shortages of medical equipment.
