Roman police probe whether pharma boss died in car crash

BUCHAREST, Romania – Romanian police say they are investigating the death of a man whose car slammed into a tree. The victim’s identity wasn’t immediately confirmed but police said Sunday that they found identity documents of the chief executive of a pharmaceutical company which is under indictment.

lfov county police said that identity documents belonging to Dan Condrea, 40, who heads Hexi Pharma, were found in the car. Police say they were interviewing two witnesses to the crash.

Hexi Pharma has been indicted on charges that the disinfectants it manufactured were highly diluted and ineffective.

It was indicted this month after disinfectants used by hospitals and Romania’s troops in Afghanistan were found to be 10 times weaker than stated.
