FDA's Office of Criminal Investigations (OCI) is coming under scrutiny from Congress, primarily from Republicans who are concerned with its autonomy and focus, "The Wall Street Journal" reported June 10.
Established after the generic drug scandals in the late 1980s, OCI has operated largely autonomously, emphasizing a crackdown on illegal abuse of drugs such as Oxycontin. Its budget doubled to $42.8 million from fiscal 2000 to fiscal 2009, even as FDA officials were conceding that funds for assuring the quality of imported drugs weren't adequate.
Members of Congress are questioning the management and priorities of OCI in the context of FDA budget problems.
