A German court convicted two former employees of Sanofi-Aventis on bribery charges 10 months ago and imposed a fine on the French drugmaker last year, prosecutors said on Monday following a newspaper report. News of the 28 million euro ($39 million) fine coincides with heightened scrutiny of Big Pharma’s sales practices after a bribery scandal in China hit business there last year. Further investigations are ongoing, a spokesman for prosecutors in the northern German town of Verden said, confirming a report by German daily newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, but they declined to say whether these were related to Sanofi or to its employees.
