A REVILED US pharmaceutical boss who caused a storm in September by jacking up the price of a life-saving drug by 5,000 per cent was arrested on Thursday on fraud charges, prosecutors said.
The arrest of Martin Shkreli - who has appeared to revel in his notoriety - was not linked to the massive increase in the price of Daraprim, a drug used to treat malaria and infections suffered by people with HIV.
