ZURICH (Reuters) - Novartis’s (NOVN.S) top lawyer quit on Wednesday over a $1.2 million contract he co-signed with U.S. President Donald Trump’s personal attorney, a deal the Swiss drugmaker’s ex-CEO also said was a mistake.
The contract with Michael Cohen’s Essential Consultants, the same firm used to pay porn star Stormy Daniels, has distracted Novartis’s efforts to improve its image after a series of missteps.
================================
This sour deal with Michael Cohen has come as a major embarrassment to Swiss drug giant Novartis, which has had its share of major missteps. 'Since 2015, Novartis has paid out hundreds of millions in settlements and fines as a result of kickback allegations in South Korea, the United States and China and faces an investigation of alleged bribery in Greece. A trial for another U.S. kickbacks case is scheduled for 2019.' It would seem that the top management of this firm was always ready for a 'deal.'
