France Upholds Jail Term For Defective Breast Implant Company Boss

A French appeals court has upheld the 4-year prison sentence bequeathed in 2013 to the progenitor of a defective breast implant firm. Hundreds of thousands of women received the faulty implants in Europe and South America.
The court in the southern city of Aix-en-Provence upheld Monday the fraud conviction against Poly Implant Prothese (PIP) founder Jean-Claude Mas.

A court in Marseille found the 76-year old censurable of aggravated fraud in December 2013 and sentenced him to the maximum four years in confinement. The court additionally injuctively authorized him to pay a fine of 75,000 euros ($103,000).
