Freed from suspicion

A pile of cynanchum wilfordii, Chinese traditional herb, left, and another of cynanchum auriculatum royle, a similar herb, are displayed on a table at the Suwon District Prosecutors’ Office in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province, Friday, as the prosecutor dropped fraud charges against Naturalendo Tech, a firm making herbal medicine from the former ingredient. The firm was accused of putting the latter, an unauthorized ingredient, in its products but the prosecution concluded the firm did not do this intentionally, although its verification system was flawed. / Yonhap
