This is the best summary I could come up with:
A total of 23 people have been sentenced to prison over the deaths of 68 children linked to contaminated cough syrups produced by India’s Marion Biotech.
They were found guilty of tax evasion, sale of substandard or counterfeit medicines, abuse of office, negligence, forgery, and bribery.
Singh Raghvendra Pratar, an executive director of Quramax Medical, a company that sold medicines produced by India’s Marion Biotech in Uzbekistan, was handed the longest, a 20-year - prison term.
Former senior officials who were in charge of licensing imported medicines were also sentenced to lengthy terms.
In January 2023 The World Health Organization warned against the use of two Indian cough syrups for children that have been linked to deaths in Uzbekistan.
In the alert WHO said that an analysis of the two cough syrups - Ambronol and Dok-1 Max - by the quality control laboratories of Uzbekistan’s health ministry found unacceptable amounts of two contaminants.
The original article contains 359 words, the summary contains 153 words. Saved 57%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
The article says that one of the contaminates was ethylene glycol. That is truly one of the most horrible poisons to die from. Like how did that even get in there?
