Since 1992 chronic renal failures have been detected in women that have absorbed pills containing chinese herbs extracts. The more fortunate of them underwent kidney transplant surgery, others survive thanks to hemodialysis, a third category either suffers from urinal cancer or either are deceased. Commercialized by Arkopharma (e.g. Health From The Sun) asiatitrat pills - which contained those extracts - were absorbed in the early 90's by 2,000 to 3,000 women in France and even more in Belgium where 1 million pills were sold. To date criminal proceedings against Max Rombi - Arkopharma's founder and ex-CEO - are ongoing since 1994. Max Rombi is pursued for homicides, injuries, frauds and misleading advertising. In October 2005 Max Rombi has been found guilty and sentenced to serve two years in jail and pay 20,000 euros penalty for "unintentional" homicides by Nice (France) correctional court. After fourteen years of procedures in a complete U-turn, on July the 5th of 2006, Max Rombi is acquitted of the charges of "unintentional" injuries by Toulouse (France) correctional court. Max Rombi has appealed both correctional courts sentences. Once more victims are insulted...

Arkopharma 's founder, ex-CEO and current supervisory board chairman sentenced for unintentional homicides

Last wednesday april the 2nd, french Cour de Cassation rejected the appeal made by Max Rombi, former ex-CEO, founder and chairman of the supervisory board of Arkopharma (aka Health From The Sun). This rejection confirms Max Rombi sentenced to serve two years in jail for unintentional homicides.

Reminder of the facts

In 2005, Max Rombi was sentenced for unintentional homicides in relation to the death of two young women whom having absorbded asiatitrats pills, containing toxic chinese herbs imported by Arkopharma without control of any kind, developed chronic kidney failure and ovarian cancer. The sentence was confirmed one year later by Aix-en-Provence french cour of appeal which Arkopharma 's founder, ex-CEO and current supervisory board chairman appealed again in a last resort. That last resort was rejected making finally mandatory Max Rombi 's imprisonment.

Complementary facts

In a similar case, where two young women developed chronic kidney failure after absorbing the very same asiatitrats pills, Max Rombi was only charged for fraud and misleading advertisement and not recognised guilty of unintentional injuries.

Reflexion

Besides the lack of severity of the sentence considering the gravity of the fact, it is absolutely astonishing and disgraceful to observe french justice finds Max Rombi guilty in one case and not in the other despite of the striking similarity (same pills: asiatitrats, same deceases: chronic kidney failure).

IF YOU'RE AWARE OF ANY OTHER PROCEDURE, SO JUSTICE CAN BE DONE, OR IF YOU LOST YOUR KIDNEYS AFTER HAVING ABSORBED CHINESE HERBS PILLS OR IF YOU KNOW SOMEBODY WHO DID OR IN SUPPORT TO THE VICTIMES, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO LEAVE YOUR COMMENT. PLEASE HELP US. THANK YOU.
