Thirty complaints targeting Korian group nursing homes, in particular for “manslaughter”, have been filed with a dozen prosecutors in several regions, lawyer Sarah Saldmann told AFP on Tuesday, June 7, confirming information from the Parisian.
These complaints against X come from 18 families of residents, for acts of “endangering the lives of others”, “non-assistance to a person in danger” and “manslaughter”. They were filed in Aix-en-Provence, Bobigny, Bourges, Le Mans, Marseille, Nantes, Niort, Paris, Pau and Versailles, detailed Sarah Saldmann.
Korian reacted quickly, saying in a statement that the lawyer had no “taken care at no time to formalize the complaints of its customers and thus assert their interests”. The group “is unaware of the content of these complaints and therefore cannot comment” and remember that “all serious situations brought to (his) knowledge are dealt with and systematically declared to the authorities”.
Sarah Saldmann was already at the origin of nearly 80 complaints filed in April in Nanterre against the Orpea group for similar facts, in the wake of the scandal triggered by the book-investigation The Gravediggers by journalist Victor Castanet. Most of these procedures – apart from those concerning the clinics of the Clinea subsidiary – are already “investigating parties”she clarified.
