In the California lawsuit, Han claims he was terminated for identifying potential Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) issues within the company. Back in 2021, Han says he discovered that Pfizer had spent “over ten times the amount of money” on potentially influential government officials (PIGOs) in China than the company had spent on those officials in other countries, the court documents state. Specifically, Pfizer spent $168 million on PIGOs in China between the second quarter of 2019 and the third quarter of 2021, Han''''s work found. That compared to $12 million in the U.S., $11 million in Canada, $7.5 million in Russia and $7.1 million in the U.K. 看名字是个华人,说它发现公司违法了FCPA反海外贿赂法。感觉要是司法部调查这个案子是真的话,辉瑞要交一大笔罚款,这个吹哨人应该能拿不少抽成。 尤其是美国官员发现自己拿的比中国官员要少很多,就更生气了。
