San Diego ? Physicians and executives are among 18 people accused of selling prescription drugs over the Internet to people without any examinations, according to an indictment unsealed Thursday that charges them with federal racketeering.

The 313-count indictment marks the first time organized-crime statutes designed to combat drug cartels and mafia rings have been used to charge anyone with selling prescription drugs over the Internet, said Lorraine Concha, an assistant special agent in charge of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office in San Diego.

AffPower, a Costa Rica-based company, took more than 1 million orders for legal pharmaceuticals including diet pills, birth control pills, Prozac and Viagra between August 2004 and June 2006, according to the indictment. It says the total value of the drugs exceeds $126 million.
