New York | A former senior partner at McKinsey was sentenced to six months in prison on Thursday (Friday AEST) for destroying records that shed light on the firm’s role in the United States’ opioid crisis.
The partner, Martin Elling, had pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice as part of a federal case against the firm and its efforts to “turbocharge” sales of OxyContin during an overdose epidemic that had already killed hundreds of thousands of people.
