A major pharmaceutical distribution company and two of its former executives are facing criminal charges for their roles in advancing the nation's opioid crisis and profiting from it.

Rochester Drug Co-Operative, one of the nation's 10 largest pharmaceutical distributors in the U.S., was charged with conspiracy to distribute controlled narcotics — oxycodone and fentanyl — for nonmedical reasons and conspiracy to defraud the United States. Former CEO Laurence Doud III and former chief of compliance William Pietruszewski also were charged.
