the Nestlé group has made a financial agreement with the families of the victims

The agreement was signed in the greatest discretion at the end of March between Nestlé, the owner of the brand Buitoni, and the families of 63 victims, poisoned after eating frozen pizzas. The agreement would amount to tens or even hundreds of millions of euros for all the victims. An amount that has finally convinced families, discouraged by the slowness of the judicial system. The case Buitoni broke out in March 2022. Two children died and dozens more were hospitalized.

The hearing will therefore not take place.

More than a year after the start of the case, Nestlé is still not indicted. “This is a process on which we have agreed, which makes it possible to collectively compensate all the victims that I represent and which in parallel will obviously put an end to the summons that I had. delivered in September for 250 million euros”details Me Pierre Debuisson, lawyer for 63 victims. The hearing scheduled for the Nanterre court (Hauts-de-Seine) on May 9 will therefore not take place.
