The interceptions. In one of the intercepted conversations between the doctor and the pharmaceutical informant Marco Argenziano there are all the elements of this ugly story.
"I want to give you 10,000 euros because you are a friend, because you are a politically minded person, so in my future you can help me" says the intercepted informant "I have a predisposition for you, so I'm not coming to ask you a justification but the justification with the company”.
Then that detail that makes you shiver: «Francè and then next year we will have reimbursement, I need a strong push this year, next year this product will die. Look in the colon has a large turnover. In Italy, Nexavar is doing everything possible, we talked about it last time, so I have to reach the 2015 target». And finally he closes: «Oh well, we said everything. Shall I put this money aside for you?». Izzo replies: «Set aside that they will certainly come out, this year certainly a lot». [from eight pages – Naples 07/03/2017]
