Koskie Minsky LLP Announces That It Is Investigating Class Action Against Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc.

TORONTO, Oct. 22, 2015 /CNW/ - The class action department of Koskie Minsky LLP today announced that it is investigating a potential class action on behalf of Valeant's shareholders concerning alleged misrepresentations in Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc.'s public disclosure.

On October 21, 2015, the short seller Citron Research issued a report alleging that Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc. has failed to disclose the creation of a network of pharmacies that were set up for the purpose of creating fraudulent invoices to deceive its auditors and improperly record revenue. Upon the release of Citron Research's report, Valeant's share price on the TSX dropped dramatically.

Persons who owned Valeant's securities are encouraged to contact Garth Myers at Koskie Minsky LLP by telephone at [phone] or by email at [email protected].
