– Seven times cheaper –
The prosecution said Mas “was not a scientist at all — his only concern was financial”. The gel that PIP produced was seven times cheaper than a substance that it could have bought. “The PIP gel was the best,” Mas insisted. When the chief judge Eric Cibiel asked whether it was also the cheapest, Mas said: “Well yes, and all the better for it.”
Mas denied that he had committed fraud, telling the court: “I fail to see who has been defrauded.” Yet tests showed that PIP implants ruptured more easily than other implants. One victim told the appeal that PIP had ruined thousands of lives. Around 7,000 women have sued for damages. “They made laboratory rats of 7,000 of us,” one woman said. The faulty implants had caused a “health time bomb”. PIP employees testified that Mas ruled the company with an iron fist and refused to accept any criticism, especially of “his” gel.
He claimed he had been ruined by the scandal and had to survive on his monthly pension of 1,850 euros ($2,125). The scandal had ramifications around the world.
It is thought that around 47,000 British women received PIP implants, with the vast majority fitted by private clinics, mostly for breast reconstruction after cancer treatment. More than half of PIP implants were exported to South America.
