FedEx Corp. and United Parcel Service Inc. have participated in a federal grand jury investigation of shipments by online pharmacies that may have operated illegally.
UPS said in a regulatory filing that it responded to subpoenas as far back as 2007 from the U.S. attorney in San Francisco in connection with an investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration. The company said it is cooperating with the investigation and exploring a settlement with the government, including paying a fine.
