Take it up with your ethics committee and seek their opinion as they would be in a better position to guide you with their valuable inputs to be validated by you for future course of action.

If you are in a postion where you have the responsibility to tackle any violation of the internal policies, you must take the responsibility to handle, even if it is your friend. If you are afraid to loose your friend, tell the committee to take over.

It is hard, but this is honesty.
