GSK faces bribery investigation in Poland: BBC

(Reuters) - GlaxoSmithKline Plc is facing a criminal investigation in Poland for allegedly bribing doctors to promote its asthma drug Seretide, BBC Panorama reported on Sunday. The BBC reported that 11 doctors and a GSK regional manager have been charged over alleged corruption between 2010 and 2012. "The investigation found evidence of inappropriate communication in contravention of GSK policy by a single employee. GSK, Britain's biggest drugmaker, was accused by Chinese authorities in July of funnelling up to 3 billion yuan ($483 million) to doctors and officials to encourage them to use its medicines in a case that rocked the pharmaceuticals industry.
