    3rd Circ. Won't Revive Chinese Co.'s GSK Probe Suit

    The Third Circuit on Wednesday backed a lower court's ruling that a pair of consultants could not rely on U.S. racketeering laws to hold GlaxoSmithKline LLC liable for allegedly landing them in Chinese prison after duping them into investigating a whistleblower, saying the incident and all the damages occurred in China.

    Chinese Co.'s Suit Over GSK Probe Tied To US, 3rd Circ. Told

    A pair of consultants who alleged that they landed in a Chinese prison after GlaxoSmithKline LLC duped them into investigating an innocent whistleblower told the Third Circuit on Thursday that they meet the "domestic injury" requirement for filing a federal racketeering claim because their business is closely tied to the United States even though it is located in China.
