At least 30 GlaxoSmithKline Plc employees are under house arrest and constant surveillance in China as part of an ongoing investigation into the company, the Telegraph reported.
Those detained include five or six executives, among them Glaxo’s legal counsel in China, who has been cut off from communication with the head office, the newspaper said, citing an unidentified person familiar with the situation. Glaxo isn’t commenting further on the investigation at this stage pending more information from Chinese authorities, the London-based company said in an e-mail today.
