TEVA Pharmaceuticals has filed a lawsuit against its former head of regulatory affairs in the USA, alleging she passed proprietary information to her boyfriend - who was the ceo of rival Apotex.
The case against Barinder Sandhu alleges she copied company files onto USB flash drives and handed them onto Jeremy Desai for a period of two years ending in 2016.
Teva says it learned about the information thefts from a former Apotex staffer who said the generics firm used the data to compete against Teva.
