Two more former pharmaceutical executives will go to prison for conspiring to bribe doctors and nurses to prescribe a highly addictive opioid painkiller. One got a longer sentence than prosecutors wanted Wednesday, the other a shorter one than they desired.
Michael Babich, the erstwhile chief executive of Chandler, Ariz.-based Insys Therapeutics, and Sunrise Lee, a former regional sales director, were the fourth and fifth former employees of the firm to be sentenced to prison, since Jan. 13, for their roles in the scheme.
