28 Apr 2026 Purdue Pharma L.P.Purdue Pharma: 5.544 billion USD penalty – including kickbacks via the speaker programme €4.75bn
Following its 2020 guilty plea, the opioid manufacturer was sentenced in Newark to a criminal fine of 3.544 billion USD (asserted in the insolvency proceedings) and forfeiture of 2 billion USD; up to 1.775 billion USD can be credited against the forfeiture if Purdue emerges from insolvency as a public benefit company. Purdue had deceived the DEA and paid kickbacks to prescribers via its speaker programme and to an electronic health records platform in order to increase opioid prescriptions.
Fee programmes for customers who drive revenue can become part of a criminal overall scheme – with consequences that threaten the company’s existence.
