India-born one-time billionaire on trial for bribing doctors
Indian-American pharma entrepreneur John Kapoor will go on trial this week in US for bribing doctors with cash, dinners and strippers. The one-time billionaire, who founded Insys Therapeutics, is accused of luring doctors into prescribing a highly addictive opioid painkiller meant for cancer patients, to increase its sales. Kapoor, who was the company's CEO, resigned following his arrest in 2017.
