Thus they decided for years how the award of various contracts and, more importantly, would keep prices high of pharmaceutical, vaccines and even disinfectants.

antitrust initiative, which could result in a fine unprecedented originates from a criminal investigation initiated by the Special Unit for the Protection of Competition and market the Guardia di Finanza. After two years of investigation and wiretaps of six months, the military had identified two separate conspiracy to rigging the auction.

The first was composed of representatives of corporations Glaxo-Smith-Kline , Pharmacia & Upjohn, Roche and Astrazeneca that would pre-determined (with confidential agreement valid throughout Italy) are the winners of procurement of medicines. The same Astrazeneca together with seven other companies, including Esoform , Pierrel , Braun and Asta Medica , would instead divided public contracts for disinfectants and detergents health. The cartel was divided in two the Italian market for medications, the first "sign" would be awarded the supply of drugs, vaccines and blood products to hospitals in Bologna, Pordenone, Sondrio, Naples, Caserta and Caltagirone (Catania). The second one had a monopoly in the sale of disinfectants to local health authorities in Rome, Benevento, Salerno, Cagliari, Livorno, Naples, Turin and Fermo (Ascoli).

The measure with which authorized the prosecutor to the barracks was not sufficiently motivated and that the court does not consider them part of the process and decided for a full acquittal.

But now the cards in this investigation, including wiretaps, they were acquired by the antitrust authorities in recent days that has already begun his interrogation. A fast-paced.
