A settlement has been reached between Texas and AstraZeneca, resulting in the pharmaceutical company paying the state nearly $34 million. This payment is related to allegations that AstraZeneca engaged in an illegal kickback scheme.

The scheme allegedly involved improperly influencing Medicaid prescriptions. Texas is set to recover the funds as part of the settlement.

Further details about the settlement and allegations against AstraZeneca can be found through FOX 4 News, which reported on the development in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, including Flower Mound, TX.
