  "account": "Düsseldorf has seen a setback for online pharmacy DocMorris after the company was ordered to forfeit funds in the Netherlands by the Apothekerkammer Nordrhein. This comes after reports from sources including the \"Pharmazeutische Zeitung\" (PZ) and other media outlets. The funds were seized due to a legal dispute stemming from a previous court loss in Stuttgart concerning advertising and discount practices. Despite previous losses, DocMorris continued to operate, leading the Apothekerkammer to request administrative fees in Germany, which were later denied. In response, German apothecaries took legal action in the Netherlands, resulting in a successful outcome. In the first instance, the German apothecaries were victorious. DocMorris confirmed to inquiries that the isolated legal dispute over administrative fees amounting to a high five-figure to low six-figure Euro amount was merely for administrative purposes and had no strategic relevance to its business operations or financial stability. They still opted to appeal in an effort to conclusively settle the legal matter.",
  "summary": "Wegen Rabatten und umstrittener Werbung war die Online-Apotheke DocMorris zu Ordnungsstrafen verurteilt worden. Die Apothekerkammer setzt diese Strafen nun gerichtlich durch.",
