Cartel case drugs firm agrees £4m settlement - Telegraph

Extract:

"A £4 million settlement over alleged price-fixing of medicines has been agreed by a British drugs firm and the Department of Health, it was announced yesterday.

Goldshield Group Plc made the offer, without admission of liability, after a civil claim by the Government which accused a number of firms of operating a cartel.

A criminal trial against nine individuals and five companies, including Goldshield, on charges of conspiracy to defraud the NHS, is scheduled for January.

Yesterday's settlement follows allegations that Goldshield was involved in price-fixing of the blood-thinning drug warfarin.

Next year's court case, brought by the Serious Fraud Office, relates to allegations concerning warfarin, another branded blood-thinning drug Marevan, and penicillin-based antibiotics, supplied to the NHS between January 1996 and December 2000."

Let's hope that eventually somebody is sent to prison for this! - Unlikely, though, I guess...)o:
