The Servier laboratories were found guilty of "aggravated deception", indicated on Monday by the 31st correctional chamber of the judicial court of Paris.
More than ten years after the resounding scandal of the Mediator, a drug held responsible for hundreds of deaths, the Paris court rendered its judgment against Servier laboratories and the Medicines Agency.
During the “517 hours and a few minutes of hearing” of a long-running trial opened in September 2019 and closed in July 2020, one question was central: how the Mediator could have been prescribed for thirty-three years despite repeated alerts on its dangerousness?
