LONDON (Alliance News) - The investigation into allegations of bribery by GlaxoSmithKline PLC in China began with a sex tape involving the company's most senior executive in the country, Mark Reilly, the Sunday Times reported.
The tape of Reilly and his Chinese girlfriend was attached to an email sent in March last year alleging that Glaxo was bribing doctors in China, the report said, and caused alarm at Glaxo.
Glaxo's Chinese unit, run by Reilly, hired a company called Chinawhys to look into the breach, according to the Sunday Times. Chinawhys was run by Peter Humphrey, who has since been arrested after investigating Vivian Shi, suspected of being a whistleblower at Glaxo.
