Indictments of Individuals Shed More Light On Warner Chilcott Enforcement Action
We recently discussed the settlement Warner Chilcott reached with the Department of Justice, which also announced criminal charges against the former president of the company’s pharmaceutical division. This former executive, however, is not the only individual swept into the criminal charges, as three lower level Warner Chilcott sales force members and a physician who served as a speaker for the company have previously been charged or pled guilty. The details in the charging materials may provide insight into the government’s post-Yates memo approach to targeting and using individuals to build a criminal case against corporations.
