Former co-owner of the now defunct New England Compounding Center (NECC) Gregory Conigliaro may face prison time for conspiring to defraud the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Prosecutors argued Conigliaro conspired with more than a dozen others at NECC to deceive and defraud the FDA by misrepresenting the facility as solely a compounding pharmacy dispensing only patient-specific prescriptions while in fact it was also operating as a generic drug manufacturer.
