Jurisdiction: United Kingdom

The criminal charges brought against nine individuals and five pharmaceutical companies for conspiracy to defraud the National Health Service (NHS) in connection with the pricing and supply of generic and branded drugs, could well be dropped following the refusal by the Crown Court to allow the SFO to amend its indictment. The SFO is applying for leave to appeal from the Court of Appeal.
