Walgreens announced in November 2022 settlement frameworks to resolve state, local and tribal opioid claims for up to approximately $4.8 billion (states and subdivisions) and $155 million (tribes) over 15 years, plus up to about $754 million in attorneys' fees, with no admission of liability - separately from a $683 million Florida settlement, and SEPARATELY agreed (April 2025) to pay $300 MILLION — plus another $50 MILLION if the company is sold or merged before 2032, for up to $350 MILLION — to the DOJ over allegations it filled MILLIONS of invalid prescriptions for opioids and other controlled substances and then billed federal healthcare programs for them — meaning taxpayers may have helped fund prescriptions the government itself says should never have been filled in the first place.
