Pharmaceutical and Device Companies Involved in Oil-for-Food Scandal

Now that the Volcker report is out about how more than 2000 companies paid bribes to Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq in order to sell products under the United Nation's oil for food program, it's no surprise that a number of prominent pharmaceutical and medical device companies were involved. So far, these include:
  • Astra Zeneca
  • Glaxo Wellcome
  • SmithKlineBeecham
  • Eli Lilly
  • Novartis
  • Roche
  • Serono
  • St. Jude Medical
This list was compiled from reports by the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, Swedish Radio, and DowJones.
