14 May 2026 Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc.Takeda: 13.7 million USD – speaker fees and luxury meals for prescribing physicians USAGifts, hospitality and benefits €11.7m

From 2014 to 2020, Takeda allegedly selected physicians specifically for its speaker programme for the antidepressant Trintellix and provided them with fees and meals at expensive restaurants to promote prescriptions; some participants attended the same event several times without any educational benefit. Takeda paid 13,670,921 USD.

What organisations can take from it

Speaker programmes need a demonstrable educational purpose – repeated attendance and expensive hospitality turn them into inducements.

How the radar is compiled

Official sources only

Every case is based on a decision, press release or database of an authority or a court. Press and law-firm reports count at most as additional references.

Four-eyes check

Whoever enters a case may not approve it. A second, independent check compares company, date, amount and area of law with the source. Only then is the case published.

Comparable amounts

Amounts are converted at the ECB reference rate on the day of the decision. Each case also shows the original amount.

Corrections on record

A correction is a new version that is checked again. Every change is logged. You can report errors directly on each case.

Case texts are translated from the German original. Where a translation is not yet available, the German text is shown and marked “(German original)”. Names of authorities, laws and companies are given as in the source (company names until they are anonymised).

Company names are anonymised two years after the decision in a case, in line with the practice of many supervisory authorities. The official sources remain linked.

The radar reports on published decisions and is not legal advice. Decisions that are not yet final are marked as such where the status is known.
