Paris (HRNW) A court in Paris on Monday found pharmaceutical firm Servier guilty in a case involving its diabetes and weight loss medication Mediator.
The case against the drugmaker involved thousands of plaintiffs and is one of the biggest health scandals to erupt in the country.
Servier was found guilty of “aggravated fraud” and “involuntary manslaughter” over the pill, which is blamed for hundreds of deaths.
The company’s former deputy boss, Jean-Philippe Seta, was handed a suspended prison sentence of four years.
