John Kramer and Carlos Ortiz, both former vice presidents at the Woonsocket-based pharmacy company, have pleaded not guilty to fraud, bribery and conspiracy charges. They're accused of paying former state Sen. John Celona $45,000 and other gifts to defeat bills the company opposed and take other action on the company's behalf. CVS has since changed its name to CVS Caremark Corp. The company has not been charged. Opening statements in the trial are scheduled for May 12. Both men have been free on bond. -- The Associated Press Posted by Jack Perry CommentsTom | May 5, 2008 9:03 AM link Jack and Carlos were simply following instructions from "the top".

"CVS has since changed its name to CVS Caremark Corp. The company has not been charged."
- Of course not! Everyone knows these men gave bribes out of their own pockets and CVS (Tom Ryan) had NO idea there was anything going on... right!
