A former chief compliance officer who pleaded guilty to aiding widescale opioid distribution at a wholesale pharmacy where he worked received no jail time after testifying against his former chief executive officer.
William Pietruszewski, the former CCO of Rochester Drug Co-operative (RDC), was spared jail time by Judge George Daniels of the Southern District of New York in a ruling Wednesday. Pietruszewski’s testimony aided the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) case against former RDC CEO Laurence Doud III, who was sentenced to two years and three months in prison earlier this month.
The Pietruszewski ruling was confirmed by his legal representatives at Porzio Bromberg & Newman in a press release.
