Grand jury probing meningitis-linked pharmacy: newspaper
POSTED: SATURDAY, 01 DECEMBER 2012 09:51AM
BOSTON (Reuters) - A grand jury is investigating the compounding pharmacy at the heart of a deadly meningitis outbreak, the Boston Globe reported on Saturday.
The grand jury has begun issuing subpoenas to people who worked for the New England Compounding Center, which closed after investigators determined it had produced the tainted injectible steroid that has killed 36 people, the newspaper reported, citing unnamed people who formerly worked for the company.
Grand jury investigations, which are conducted in secrecy, are a step prosecutors take before determining whether to press criminal charges.
