The former chief executive of Insys Therapeutics pleaded guilty on Wednesday to engaging in a scheme to bribe doctors to prescribe an addictive opioid medication and has agreed to become a government witness, according to Reuters.
Prosecutors allege that from 2012 to 2015, Babich and others conspired to bribe doctors in exchange for prescribing Subsys, which contains an opioid 100 times stronger than morphine.
Prosecutors said that Babich may face up to 25 years in prison.
