An ongoing investigated case into Novartis sales practices in Greece has so far implicated 10 current and former politicians. The case relates to the decade between 2006 and 2015, in regards to allegations of bribes being paid by Novartis to officials in order to facilitate the sales of products in the nation.
The case is particularly fraught as it occurred during the global financial crisis, which left Greece on its knees and forced to take stringent austerity measures in return for bailouts by the EU.
