Drug Companies Top Other Industries in Federal Fraud Lawsuits
One out of every four dollars collected by the U.S. government due to fraud charges under the False Claims Act comes from pharmaceutical companies, according to a report released by Public Citizen on December 16. That 25% is more than twice the amount paid by defense companies, which was the second most fraudulent industry, but only accounted for 11% of fraud settlement amounts.
