Nearly 80 complaints against Orpea
Korian reacted quickly, saying in a statement that the lawyer had no “At no time did it take any action 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 recalls that “all serious situations brought to [sa] knowledge are processed and systematically reported to the authorities”.
Me 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.
