The pharmaceutical group was found guilty of all the offenses with which it was charged, including the offense of fraud for which it was acquitted at first instance.
During the trial of the second French medical laboratory which took place from January to June, the public prosecutor’s office demanded a fine of 13.5 million euros against Servier and the “confiscation” of its profit linked to Mediator, i.e. 182 million euros according to his calculations.
Marketed in 1976 as an adjuvant to antidiabetic treatments, but often unduly prescribed as an appetite suppressant until its ban in 2009, Mediator, a flagship molecule from Servier, has caused serious cardiovascular damage in thousands of patients. He is held responsible for hundreds of deaths.
