The founder of Pip prostheses is arrested
The scandal broke out in early December and only yesterday led to the arrest of Jean-Claude Mas, the founder of the French company in bankruptcy since 2010, who has now admitted to having manufactured the non-approved silicone gel. The 72-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter, but yesterday, following various interrogations, he was released thanks to the payment of a bail of 100.00 euros and the charge against him is no longer that of murder but that, less serious, of negligent injuries.
