Feds Charge Pharma Ex-Compliance Officer, President, Pharmacists in Opioid Case
The former compliance officer and president of pharmaceutical distributor Miami-Luken were charged alongside two West Virginia pharmacists by federal prosecutors in Ohio Thursday with conspiring to distribute controlled substances.
ABC News reports Miami-Luken’s former compliance officer, James Barclay, and former president, Anthony Rattini, were charged.
“In one instance, prosecutors claim that Miami-Luken distributed 3.7 million hydrocodone pills to a single pharmacy in Kermit, West Virginia — a town with a population of about 400 people from 2008 to 2011. That averages out to 9,250 hydrocodone pills for every resident of the town,” reports ABC’s Luke Barr.
