The owner of the pharmacy, Lilian Jakacki, also known as Lilian Wieckowsi, and her husband, Marcin (Martin) Jakacki, in turn, would take a $2 cut per pill from Cybulski, according to the indictment.

Todd Maisel/New York Daily News A joint taskforce of DEA and NYPD raided two stores, including Chopin Chemists pharmacy at 66-19 Fresh Pond Rd.in Ridgewood Queens, for alleged illegal sale of Oxycodone and other narcotics.

And he wasn’t their only customer, authorities allege.

Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara and Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent in Charge James Hunt said defendants Lillian Jakacki, 49, and Marcin Jakacki, 35, peddled pills with a street value of $10 million to $15 million from two Chopin Chemists “pill mills”.

“Some pills they sold based on stolen and fraudulent prescriptions, other times they just sold oxycodone without asking for prescriptions at all”, Bharara said.

Lilian Jakacki would often give blank prescription forms to customers who didn’t have scripts to fill, and would make phone calls to doctor’s offices ostensibly to verify the prescriptions she filled, the indictment allege.

Documents filed on Thursday after a two-year investigation allege the couple organized a racket wherein prescriptions for the pills would be made out to luxe brand names – including Coach and Chanel – instead of people. About $1 million ended up in an escrow account so it could be used as a down payment on the couple’s house in Greenwich, Connecticut, it says.

An undercover DEA agent bought 700 pills from the Jakackis in September and October 2015.

Federal officials are calling the Jakackis’ ring “one of the largest illegal diversions of oxycodone pills ever uncovered in a New York State pharmacy”.

The couple laundered proceeds by depositing them with fake notations like “wedding gifts” and “loan repayments”, then routing them through various bank accounts, the indictment says.

“We had to take this place down”, the source said.

Lilian Jakacki also fleeced Medicare out of $750,000 in falsely-submitted reimbursements, according to the indictment.
