Bell-Kenz Pharma files cyber libel suit vs health advocate Tony Leachon

Defining the News

A pharmaceutical firm accused of violating ethical standards on Tuesday filed a cyber libel complaint before the National Bureau of Investigation against health expert and advocate Dr. Anthony Leachon for supposedly ruining the company’s good reputation on social media.

The firm was accused of enlisting doctors as multilevel marketing agents for their products, prescribing them to patients, in exchange of special perks such as plane tickets, luxury cars, cash and other expensive items. Senator Joseph Victor Ejercito earlier named the pharmaceutical company in conspiracy with physicians to prescribe their medicines.

“I see this as a desperate effort to silence truthful investigation and manipulate public opinion,” Leachon added.
