Swiss pharmaceutical and healthcare company Novartis AG, along with current subsidiary Novartis Hellas S.A.C.I. and former subsidiary Alcon Pte Ltd, have settled alleged FCPA charges by paying a combined amount of more than $346 million. This was not parent company Novartis AG’s first FCPA rodeo, but it managed to avoid the appointment of a monitor. The settlements stem largely from gifts, travel and entertainment and other improper payments the Novartis subsidiaries provided to healthcare providers in both Greece and Vietnam. The settlements may represent a renewed focus on GTE, and there are some important lessons here for other organizations in merger and acquisition mode, as well as for recidivists.
