Ex-drug company execs face reckoning in opioid bribery case
BOSTON (AP) — The founder and former top employees of a pharmaceutical company are facing a reckoning for their role in a bribery scheme that prosecutors say boosted sales of a powerful, highly addictive painkiller and helped fuel the national opioid epidemic.
Starting Monday, seven people who worked for Insys Therapeutics will appear in Boston to be sentenced by a federal judge.

This could be the first case against the people who helped create the opioid addiction crisis in the U.S.
