British drug giant GlaxoSmithKline will come under more pressure from prosecutors in the UK and US after admitting that it is investigating bribery allegations in several countries, legal experts have said. The drug maker has, within the last two weeks, been forced to admit it is looking into bribery allegations in four countries: Poland, Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon. These admissions come months after the company became embroiled in a major bribery scandal in China, where it was accused of funnelling as much as £320m to doctors and government officials to boost sales. GSK has said it is co-operating with the Beijing authorities’ investigation.
