A former pharmacist at New England Compounding Center, the now-bankrupt company tied to a 2012 meningitis outbreak that killed 64 people, was arrested as he attempted to board a flight from to Hong Kong.
Glenn Chin, 46, was detained at and charged with one count of mail fraud, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a statement. Chin is scheduled to appear in federal court later today, it said.
The pharmacy’s tainted drugs, including a steroid administered by spinal injection, caused 64 deaths and 751 cases of meningitis, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and led to calls by Congress for greater federal oversight of such companies.
