“Walgreens has agreed to pay $300 million to settle U.S. prosecutors’ allegations that it illegally filled millions of invalid prescriptions for opioids and other controlled substances, the U.S. Justice Department said on Monday. The money, plus 4% interest annually, will be paid out over six years under the terms of the agreement. Walgreens will also owe [sic] the U.S. an additional $50 million if the company is sold, merged, or transferred prior to fiscal year 2032, the Justice Department said. Walgreens said in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday that the case was ‘the last anticipated major opioid regulatory matter’ and that it had settled without admitting wrongdoing ‘to avoid the cost and uncertainty of continued litigation.'” (04/21/25)
