Pharmaceutical founder charged with

bribing doctors to prescribe opioids
By Anita Snow
Associated Press
The drug company founder now charged
with leading a nationwide conspiracy to
bribe doctors and pharmacists to overpre-
scribe an opioid cancer pain drug once was
listed among Arizonas richest billionaires.
John N. Kapoor, the founder of Insys
Therapeutics, several years ago was listed
by Forbes as having a worth of $2.4 billion.
That worth has fallen amid the indictments
of numerous fellow Insys executives, but
Forbes still listed Kapoors worth at $1.75
billion on Thursday as he went to U.S.
federal court in the fraud and racketeering
case.
Kapoor is also the longtime chairman of
the board of Akorn Pharmaceuticals, head-
quartered in Lake Forest. Akorn is in the
process of being acquired by German health
care company Fresenius Kabi for $4.3
billion. That deal is expected to close by
early next year, subject to regulatory
approval.
Attempts to reach Akorn for comment on
Kapoors arrest were not immediately
successful Friday morning. Kapoor has
been Akorns chairman since 1990.
Kapoor, 74, of Phoenix, and a group of his
colleagues were charged with pushing
prescriptions for the highly addictive drug
the same day that President Donald Trump
declared the opioid crisis a nationwide
public health emergency.
The case naming Kapoor follows indict-
ments against the companys former CEO
and other executives and managers on

Pharmaceuticals, leaves U.S. District Court after being arrested Thursday in Phoenix.
allegations that they provided kickbacks to
doctors to prescribe a potent opioid spray
called Subsys amid a drug epidemic that is
claiming thousands of lives each year.
In August, Insys agreed to pay Illinois
$4.45 million to settle allegations that it
deceptively marketed and sold Subsys for
uses not approved by the FDA. Illinois had
sued the company in August 2016 in Cook
County Circuit Court.
The new indictment alleges Kapoor and
the other defendants offered bribes to
ROSS D. FRANKLIN/AP
doctors to write large numbers of prescrip-
tions for the fentanyl-based pain medi-
cation that is meant only for cancer patients
with severe pain. Most people who received
prescriptions did not have cancer.
The indictment also alleges that the
defendants conspired to mislead and de-
fraud insurance providers who were reluc-
tant to approve payment for the drug when
it was prescribed for patients without
cancer.
Federal prosecutors in Boston brought
the case as part of ongoing efforts to attack
the opioid crisis from all angles, said
Boston-based Acting U.S. Attorney William
D. Weinreb.
A judge set bail at $1 million for Kapoor,
saying he must wear electronic monitoring
and surrender his passports. Kapoor, who
was arrested earlier Thursday, entered
court in basketball shorts, tennis shoes and
a T-shirt, his long, gray hair disheveled.
He is not guilty of these charges, he
intends to fight it vigorously, defense
attorney Brian T. Kelly said outside court.
Kelly is a high-profile Boston lawyer and
former federal prosecutor who successfully
tried imprisoned gangster James Whitey
Bugler.
After immigrating from India decades
ago, Kapoor earned a doctorate in medi-
cinal chemistry from the University of
Buffalo, where the pharmacy school is
named for him and his wife to honor their
longtime philanthropy. He initially founded
Akorn Pharmaceuticals, a generic drug
manufacturer, then later Insys Therapeu-
tics in Chandler, Ariz., which went public in
2013.
Kapoor also has a company that operates
seven restaurants including the Japanese
eatery Roka Akor, which has locations in
Chicagos River North neighborhood and
Skokie, as well in Scottsdale, Ariz., Houston
and San Francisco.

How bad will flu season be?
U. of C. researchers have an idea
By Ese Olumhense
Chicago Tribune
If youre wondering just how bad this
years flu season will be, the University of
Chicago has a prediction for you worse
than average, but better than last years
major siege of the achy sniffles.
And theyve known that since this
summer.
In a paper released Wednesday and
published in the journal Science Trans-
lational Medicine, the universitys re-
searchers described the development of a
new model for predicting the yearly flu
season significantly earlier than past
efforts.
Their predictions have consistently
proved accurate, the studys authors said.
Using historical data, their new model
accurately forecast the total number of
cases for every U.S. flu season from 2002
to 2016. It also correctly predicted the
2016-17 season before it began last year.
Our analysis for this year showed that
the virus is already changing in a
significant way, said Mercedes Pascual,
who holds a postdoctorate degree in
ecology and evolutionary biology and is
the senior author of the study, in a
statement. We predict an outbreak that
is above average but moderate, not severe,
because last year was such a bad season.
Predicting just how severe a flu out-
EVENING EDITION ? CHICAGOLAND
break will be from year to year has been
tricky business, experts say.
One reason why it is so hard to predict
how bad a flu season will be is because flu
strains change from year to year.
Two major methods of forecasting
seasonal flu exist: The first tracks how the
virus might evolve; the second predicts
how many incidences of infection might
occur within a given season.
The former model can be useful for
predicting evolutionary changes in flu
virus for the coming transmission season
but not how many people might be
infected, or when. The latter can accu-
rately forecast peak timing of epidemics
and the virus spread, but only once the
flu season has begun.
U. of C. researchers model accounts
for both evolutionary changes and accu-
rate tracking of the virus spread as early
as the preceding summer.
One indicator that experts watch for is
how badly the flu has gone over in
Australia, where winter is already wind-
ing down. There, residents saw a particu-
larly bad outbreak this year, prompting
concern in the U.S. that the same could
happen here.
Its always hard to know what that
means for us, said Dr. Marielle Fric-
chione, medical director of the immuni-
zation program at the Chicago Depart-
ment of Public Health.
CHRIS WALKER/CHICAGO TRIBUNE
Enhanced forecasting would help pub-
lic health officials better manage their
limited resources to prevent flu each year,
experts say. A model that predicts what
strains might be predominant in a given
year and when enables officials to
make specific outreach efforts to groups
most susceptible to infection far earlier.
If we know when activity is going to
peak or what strains are circulating, then
we know which population to target in
terms of education and resources, Fric-
chione said.
Older adults, pregnant women, the
chronically ill and very young children
are especially susceptible to flu-related
complications. In addition to asthma,
those with heart disease and diabetes are
also at high risk.
And flu can be fatal. According to the
state Department of Public Health, influ-
enza and pneumonia have been associ-
ated with an average of 3,500 annual
deaths in the past 10 years in Illinois. Last
year, in Chicago alone, close to 300
flu-related hospitalizations that required
stays in intensive care were reported,
resulting in 49 deaths, the city depart-
ment of health notes.
Even individuals who are not among
the highest-risk populations should
make vaccination a priority, Fricchione
said, as everyone has contact with a
high-risk person.

Bubbly Creek
closed after
oil spill found
By Elyssa Cherney
Chicago Tribune
A fork of the Chicago River known as
Bubbly Creek has been closed after an oil
discharge was found in the water on
Thursday, authorities said.
The U.S. Coast Guard established a
"safety zone" at the creek, off the South
Branch of the Chicago River, around 5 p.m.
Thursday, a spokesman said. It is closed to
people and boats.
Crews used booms at the entrance to
Bubbly Creek to work to contain the oil.
The South Branch and other area water-
ways were not affected by the closing.
The U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency was working to find the source of
the oil, officials said.
Bubbly Creek is a 1.25-mile-long back-
water of the South Branch that runs
primarily through Bridgeport. It became
notorious for its pollution from the Union
Stock Yards, which opened in 1865 and
closed in 1971.
The bubbles of its name refer to gas
escaping from animal carcasses and other
material dumped in the creek over decades.
Two shot dead
in Humboldt Park
Two people were shot to death Friday
morning in Humboldt Park on the West
Side, according to Chicago police.
The shooting occurred around 10 a.m. in
the 3400 block of West Augusta Boulevard,
police said.
Police only described the victims as
males and said they were dead at the scene,
where officers worked around a dark car
with bullet holes and shattered glass.
More than a dozen yellow evidence
markers were placed on the street around
the car.
No one was in custody.
About half an hour earlier, a 25-year-old
woman was shot in the leg near Hughes
Elementary School in the Lawndale neigh-
borhood on the West Side, police said.
The school was placed on lockdown
while police investigated.
The shooting occurred around 9:35 a.m.
in the 4200 block of West 15th Street, police
said. The woman was taken in good
condition to Mount Sinai Hospital.

Spain suspends Catalonia government, calls for
snap elections after region declares independence
By William Booth and Pamela
Rolfe
The Washington Post
BARCELONA Spains prime minister
announced Friday he would dismantle the
Catalan government, suspend its ministers,
dissolve its parliament, take over regional
police and call home any Catalan diplomats
abroad just hours after the breakaway
region declared independence.
The Spanish Senate gave the central
government in Madrid unprecedented
powers over Catalonia on Friday, sharply
escalating a constitutional crisis in the
center of western Europe.
In addition, the central government
called for a clean slate and announced there
would be free, legal and clean elections in
late December.
The announcement of the get-tough
measure against Catalonia came just hours
after the Catalan parliament declared
independence and the streets of Barcelona
filled with celebrants, drinking sparking
wine and waving Catalan flags. Many wept
openly. Others came out to taunt the
National Police sent to the region by
Madrid.
The days escalation came fast and
furious.
First there were two votes one for
independence, one to restore constitutional
rule that came in dueling sessions of
parliaments in Barcelona and Madrid.
The central government easily won
permission to take over control of Cata-
lonia. Meanwhile, secessionists in Catalonia
faced bitter recriminations from Catalan
foes who called the move for nationhood a
coup and a historic blunder, a month after a
referendum that backed a split from Spain.
The widening impasse has left little
middle ground in Spain for possible com-
promises and has spilled over to the
European Union, whose leaders fear anoth-
er internal crisis after major upheavals such
as Britains exit from the bloc and the
financial meltdown in Greece.
Immediately after the vote for independ-
ence, European Council President Donald
Tusk tweeted: For EU nothing changes.
Spain remains our only interlocutor. I hope
the Spanish government favours force of
argument, not argument of force.
Tusks remark mirrors fears in Catalonia
that the Spanish government will employ
police and harsh tactics to take back control
of the region.
After the days votes, the Trump adminis-
tration came down on the side of Madrid.
Catalonia is an integral part of Spain, and
Supporters cheer and wave pro-independence flags gather Friday in the square outside
the Palau Generalitat in Barcelona, Spain, after Catalonias regional parliament passed a
motion with which they say they are establishing an independent Catalan Republic.
the United States supports the Spanish
governments constitutional measures to
keep Spain strong and united, the State
Department said in a statement.
What happens now is unclear, though
the newly declared republic will struggle to
assert itself. Spains Constitutional Court
will almost certainly declare it illegal, the
central government will try to take over the
Catalan regional ministries, and few coun-
tries in Europe have shown any willingness
so far to recognize an independent Cata-
lonia.
The final ballot was 70 to 10 in favor of
the declaration of independence in the
Catalan Parliament, where 55 deputies
declined to vote, showing the deep divi-
sions.
We have won the freedom to build a
new country, Catalonias regional vice
president, Oriol Junqueras, tweeted.
Encarna Buitrago was with her friends in
a flag-waving crowd in front of the parlia-
ment in Barcelona when independence was
declared. Many began to weep at the news.
Now we need to support our Catalan
government. To go out to the streets! And
now its up to the people, said Buitrago, a
pensioner. If we are all together, we can do
it.
After the Senate invoked the never-
before-used Article 155 of Spains 1978
constitution, the central government could
move swiftly to remove the Catalan regional
president, suspend his ministers and as-
sume authority over the regions public
media, police and finances.
Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy told the
SANTI PALACIOS/AP
Senate that his government had repeatedly
tried to rein in the secessionists in Cata-
lonia. He scoffed at Puigdemonts offers of
dialogue to end the impasse.
The word dialogue is a lovely word. It
creates good feelings, Rajoy said. But
dialogue has two enemies: those who abuse,
ignore and forget the laws, and those who
only want to listen to themselves, who do
not want to understand the other party.
Rajoy urged the Senate to approve Article
155 to prevent Catalonia from being
abused.
Catalans must be protected from an
intolerant minority that is awarding itself
ownership of Catalonia, and is trying to
subject all Catalans to the yoke of its own
doctrine, the prime minister said.
Other Spanish political parties also spoke
out against Catalonias declaration. Pedro
Sanchez, leader of the Spains Socialist
party, said despite his disagreements with
Rajoys government, faced with the chal-
lenge of territorial integrity of Spain, there
can be no nuance. Spain without Catalonia
and vice versa is a mutilated Spain and
Catalonia.
In Barcelona, shouts of Independence!
and Democracy! rose from an antecham-
ber where hundreds of onlookers, including
dozens of regional mayors, had gathered.
The eruption was answered by disdain
from anti-secessionists in the chamber. A
member of the Catalan Socialist Party,
Daniel Fernndez, asked: What is this?
The storming of the Bastille?
Pablo Iglesias, the leader of the left-wing
national party Podemos, who defended
Catalonias right to vote, added his voice to
those criticizing Catalonias separatists.
We are against the declaration of
independence, not just because it is illegal,
but because it is illegitimate, he said. The
Oct. 1 referendum was important but
doesnt give them the right to declare
independence, Iglesias told journalists.
As for the invocation of Article 155,
Iglesias said its coming implementation
will break one of the pillars of our living
together.
Carlos Carrizosa of the Citizens party
decried the prospect of a declaration of
independence, comparing it to a coup. He
pointed at Puigdemont and said: You,
president, have been pro-independence
your whole life. This whole plan was
already laid out.
This movement is textbook populism,
full of magical thinking, that reality has
destroyed. You are willing to sacrifice all, for
your pure fanaticism, said Alejandro Fer-
nndez, a Catalan lawmaker whose Popular
Party is also running the central govern-
ment.
On Thursday, facing a looming deadline
to act, Puigdemont appeared in the govern-
ment palace in Barcelona and denounced
what he described as heavy-handed negoti-
ation tactics by the central government in
Madrid.
I have considered the possibility of
calling elections, Puigdemont said. But he
ruled it out because there are not enough
guarantees from the central government
not to seize control of the region. He
ultimately left the decision to the regional
parliament.
Puigdemont reportedly sought a promise
from Rajoy that the Spanish Senate would
not vote on Article 155.
More than 2 million people cast ballots
earlier this month for independence,
though the turnout for the referendum was
around 40 percent of eligible voters.
During the vote, Spanish national police
and Guardia Civil paramilitary officers used
harsh tactics, in some cases beating voters
with rubber batons and dragging people
away from the ballot boxes.
The president of Spains Basque region,
Inigo Urkullu, a key intermediary between
Rajoy and Puigdemont, told journalists that
the situation in Catalonia was very worry-
ing and required responsibility on the
part of the two sides.
Rolfe reported from Madrid. The Washington

McGowan says her silence is over on sexual assault

By Jeff Karoub
Associated Press
In her first public comments since
accusing film producer Harvey Weinstein
of rape, actress Rose McGowan said Friday
she has been silenced for 20 years but
wont remain quiet about sexual assault and
harassment.
McGowan, delivering opening remarks
at The Womens Convention in Detroit,
thanked the audience for giving me wings

The triggering has been insane the
monsters face everywhere, my nightmare,
she said. I have been silenced for 20 years. I

McGowan has been one of the leading
voices against sexual harassment in Holly-
wood, and tweeted earlier this month that
she was raped by a man with the initials
HW. The Hollywood Reporter said Mc-
Gowan confirmed she was referring to
Weinstein.
On Twitter, McGowan has amassed
supporters and urged them to call out
harassment using the #RoseArmy hashtag.
McGowan has starred in several films,
including Scream and Planet Terror, as shouldnt be in mind. Its time to clean

But again, almost all of his
coaches have been fired or are gone
somehow.
Maddon was lying.
But Thursday, Epstein suddenly
indicated every change was a group
decision.
So, Epstein was lying now or then,
who knows, thats how its going at
the corner of Clark and Addison.
Lying is bad form. Lying after
losing is worse than letting John
Lackey face the Dodgers best hitter
in the bottom of the ninth inning of
a tied playoff game. A franchise that
Epstein vowed would be transpar-
ent isnt transparent right now. It
might not mean much to Cubs fans
at the moment, but remember, these
guys are going to continue talking
and justifying decisions, and good
luck figuring out what to believe
while wondering what else their
lack of truthfulness is hiding.
Good luck to Cubs players and the
new coaches figuring out what to
believe when these guys start talk-
ing, too. Thats the biggest thing.
Credibility and trust, see, arent just
optics for the public. Theyre con-
cerns in a clubhouse, too. And thats
the truth.
Maddon fairly admitted Thurs-
day he was lying before Game 4 of
the National League Championship
Series by saying he had no choice
but to support his coaches during
the playoffs. Maybe, maybe not.
Cubs President Theo Epstein told the media last week at Wrigley Field that
manager Joe Maddon could bring back every coach he wanted.
Maddon easily couldve said, Were
trying to win a playoff series. Were
trying to win the World Series.
Thats our goal. Thats our expecta-
tion. If we fail, well look at every-
thing and make whatever changes
we deem necessary.
In my country, we call that the
truth. Thats not pressure on a
coaching staff. Thats the truth be-
cause thats the object of the exer-
cise.
But Maddon didnt say that. He
chose to put his credibility in ques-
tion going forward, if his strangely
stubborn handling of the pitching
staff and odd logic behind his deci-
sions the last two postseasons
havent done that already.
Trying to massage falsehoods
always seems to involve rolling out
ones props, which sounds credible
at the start before trapping the
speaker. Like this:
Maddon made sure to mention
the Cubs won the World Series for
the first time in more than a century
and reached three straight National
League Championship Series, which
are terrific accomplishments, but if
thats so great, Joe, then why change
almost every coach who was so vital
to reaching those glorious heights?
It was so groovy under Maddon
until it wasnt.
So, who made these decisions?
Maddon or Epstein? Whos making
staff decisions going forward? Does
Maddon get to choose his coaching
staff or is it chosen for him? Would
you believe Maddon or Epstein
however they answered the ques-
tions?
Epstein, meanwhile, said the
massive staff changes didnt repre-
sent a purge. But he could see how it
looks like a purge from the outside.
Because its a purge, Theo.
Used to be, you could take Ep-
steins Cubs at their word. I would
hate to think the Friendly Confines
is being renovated into House of
Cards."
Trying to find the truth around
the Cubs these days suddenly and
surprisingly has become as rare as a
clutch hit.
But the truth is, teams lie all the
time. Lying isnt a crime, unless
youre under oath. Theres no rule
demanding transparency from a
franchise. But Epstein said his Cubs
would adhere to that. This wasnt
that. The new coaches know it. The
players know it. Sidelong glances
would not be uncommon.
The good thing is, transparency
doesnt matter if a team wins. Ep-
steins and Maddons Cubs had
better win. And thats the truth.

Woods pleads guilty to
reckless driving, avoids jail
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. Golfer Tiger Woods
pleaded guilty Friday to reckless driving and agreed to
enter a diversion program to settle a charge of driving
under the influence that began when he was found passed
out in his Mercedes in May.
Woods, 41, spoke only briefly during a hearing at a Palm
Beach County, Fla., answering the judges questions about
his plea agreement.
In the diversion program, Woods will spend a year on
probation and pay a $250 fine and court costs. He also
must attend DUI school, perform 20 hours of community
service and attend a workshop where victims of impaired
drivers detail how their lives were damaged. The judge
indicated he had completed those requirements.
Since he was intoxicated with prescription drugs and
marijuana, according to court records, he will also be
required to undergo regular drug tests.
The judge warned Woods to stay out of trouble.
When Woods was arrested, he had the active
ingredient for marijuana, two painkillers, a sleep drug and
anti-anxiety drug in his system but no alcohol, according
to a toxicology report. He completed a drug treatment
program in July.
Woods has said he had been self-medicating to relieve
the pain from his fourth back surgery and insomnia. AP
