In December 2013, the FBI searched the warehouse Ratburn in Detroit, where he kept the mutilated corpses. Over the next two years the intelligence agencies have raided and closed the centre of biological resources in Illinois and Arizona.
These companies earned on the sale of the remains of people who after his death donated their corpses to science. Although the practice of dismembering and sale of body parts is not illegal, U.S. attorney’s office in the Eastern district of Michigan said that the Central Bank deliberately refused to test results, which showed that the deceased person was infected with an infectious disease.
Among the documents seized by the FBI, was «the account of August 27, 2013 sent by email to the Detroit medical center.»
«Without the knowledge of DMC, the sample provided by the biological resource Center of Illinois, was obtained from the remains that have previously tested positive for hepatitis,» reads the indictment.
The document also refers to the fact that some parts of the body people with HIV, sepsis, and hepatitis were frozen, and then sold even for $100k
Greene Sr. faces up to 20 years in prison for fraud. His son was accused of intentional concealment of a crime. It can deprive of freedom for a period up to three years.
