A French pharmaceutical company was on Monday found guilty of "aggravated deception" and "manslaughter and involuntary injury" after one of its drugs was prescribed as a diet pill and blamed for the deaths of hundreds of people.

Servier Laboratories was also fined �2.7 million but cleared of its charges for fraud in a case that grew into France's biggest modern health scandals.

The 6,500 plaintiffs had accused the company of putting profits ahead of patients' lives by allowing its diabetes drug, Mediator, to be widely and irresponsibly prescribed as a diet pill.

В понедельник французская фармацевтическая компания была признана виновной
в ?обмане при отягчающих обстоятельствах? и ?непредумышленном убийстве и
непреднамеренной травме? после того, как один из ее препаратов был прописан
в качестве таблетки для похудания и был обвинен в гибели сотен людей.

Компания Servier Laboratories также была оштрафована на 2,7 миллиона евро,
но с нее сняли обвинения в мошенничестве по делу, которое переросло в
крупнейший современный скандал со здоровьем во Франции.

6500 истцов обвинили компанию в том, что она ставит прибыль выше жизни
пациентов, позволяя безответственно широко и безответственно прописывать
свое лекарство от диабета Mediator в качестве таблетки для похудания.
