Mediator trial: arrival of Dr Irène Frachon

Description

France's medicines watchdog joins pharmaceutical firm Servier in the dock Monday on fraud and negligence charges linked to the deaths of hundreds of people who were prescribed a diabetes pill for weight loss despite safety concerns. At least 500 people are thought to have died of heart valve problems in France after taking the drug Mediator, in a major health scandal that was the subject of a 2016 French movie called "150 Milligrams". The film is based on the work of real-life pulmonologist Irene Frachon - seen here arriving at the trial - who was instrumental in bringing the alleged wrongdoing to light through her campaigning and investigation.
