Drug majors cooperate in prosecution of Pharma Ci conf marketer

Several New Jersey and New York City, USA-based major pharmaceutical companies have agreed to cooperate with the legal team prosecuting the case against Amy Yueh, the marketer of the Pharma CI Conference, advertised to take place September 15-17 in Iselin, New Jersey.

In this significant development, the drug companies have agreed to produce witnesses and documents in anticipation of Ms Yueh's trial in January 2009 in Bergen County, NJ. Computer records and testimony are sought to further shed light on the defendant's communications with personnel within the companies. Ms Yueh is accused of misappropriation of company assets, reports Apapor.

Additional subpoenas have been delivered to other large drugmakers and more may be forthcoming. The collective industry willingness to cooperate in building the case against Ms Yueh may provide useful evidence as the case proceeds to trial. The legal action was initiated in December 2007.
