GSK's head of finance prevented from leaving the country

GlaxoSmithKline has confirmed its head of finance in China is being prevented from leaving the country.

Authorities there accused the company of bribing doctors to use its medicine last week.

The company said that it has "zero tolerance" to that type of conduct.

Steve Nechelput was told he could not travel outside China at the end of June, but he has not been arrested or detained by police.
