米国のオピオイド危機：
製薬会社の罪状調査が、解決しました。
Purdue Pharmaが、オピオイド・処方鎮痛剤OxyContinの取り扱いで、刑事告発の罪を認めました。
米ＮＪ州・米国地方裁判所
火曜日に遠隔で行われた法廷審問が開催。
マデリーンコックスアルレオ裁判官の前で、Purdueは、「広範囲にわたる違法行為で、3件の重罪を犯したこと」に対して、有罪を認めました。
The criminal violations
included conspiring to defraud US officials and pay illegal kickbacks to both doctors and an electronic healthcare records vendor called Practice Fusion, all to help keep opioid prescriptions flowing.
Members of the billionaire Sackler family who own Purdue and previously sat on the company’s board
were not part of Tuesday’s court proceedings and have not been criminally charged.
They agreed in October
to pay a separate $225m civil penalty for allegedly causing false claims for OxyContin to be made to government healthcare programs such as Medicare.
They have denied the allegations.
