The U.S. Senate has passed a resolution aimed at holding Steward Health Care CEO Ralph de la Torre in criminal contempt for his failure to testify before a Senate panel. The resolution was approved by unanimous consent.
A Senate committee investigating the bankruptcy of Steward Health Care had adopted the resolution after de la Torre refused to attend a committee hearing despite being subpoenaed. The resolution has now been referred to the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia for potential criminal prosecution.
