GlaxoSmithKline Plc (GSK) said former China head Mark Reilly will assist police in a bribery probe after returning to the country, where government radio reported authorities detained another 18 of the drugmaker’s employees. Reilly, replaced as China head by Herve Gisserot, “will be returning to China shortly,” Glaxo’s Melbourne-based spokeswoman Lisa Maguire said in an e-mail today, without giving a more specific timeframe. Glaxo’s former China chief left the country last month after four of his colleagues were detained as part of a government probe that has produced allegations of 3 billion yuan ($489 million) in spurious travel and meeting expenses as well as trade in sexual favors.
