According to the Associated Press, New England Compounding Center co-founders Barry Cadden and Gregory Conigliaro were arrested along with 12 other people for their roles in the outbreak, which killed 64 people in late 2012:
Gregory Conigliaro and Barry, co-founders of the center in Framingham, were among the 14 arrested at their homes around the state, U.S. attorney's office spokeswoman Christina DiIorio-Sterling said.
