The U.S. Justice Department charged Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd on Tuesday with conspiring with competitors to raise prices for generic drugs.

The decision follows Teva’s refusal to agree to a settlement that would have required paying a criminal penalty and admitting wrongdoing, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The Justice Department has been investigating allegations the company colluded with other drugmakers to push up the prices of widely used pharmaceuticals, including a high cholesterol drug.

“Today’s charge reaffirms that no company is too big to be prosecuted for its role in conspiracies that led to substantially higher prices for generic drugs relied on by millions of Americans,” Assistant Attorney General Makan Delrahim said in a statement.

In the superseding indictment filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Teva is charged with three counts of conspiring with companies that include Glenmark Pharmaceuticals , Apotex Corp, Taro Pharmaceutical Industries and Sandoz Inc, the statement said.
