The Department of Justice highlighted the actions of pharmacies to illustrate their accusations against AmerisourceBergen.
The federal government alleges a suburban Philadelphia drug wholesaler violated laws for controlled substances for nearly a decade, allowing opioids to flow illegally into the wrong hands.
Top Department of Justice officials highlighted the actions of five pharmacies around the country, two in New Jersey, to illustrate their accusations against, a Conshohocken, Pennsylvania-based, Fortune 500 company, and two of its subsidiaries. Federal authorities made their case in form of a civil lawsuit, saying the saying the company violated the Controlled Substances Act “hundreds of thousands of times,” dating back to 2014 by failing to report — to the Drug Enforcement Administration — suspicious orders of opioids from pharmacies that the company knew were likely being diverted to illicit markets.
