French anesthesiologist suspected in 17 more poisoning cases 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseA French doctor already under investigation for poisoning seven patients has been charged with poisoning 17 more people at a clinic in eastern France, one of his lawyers said. Pechier was freed on conditional release, his lawyer Jean-Yves Le Borgne said early Friday, according to French broadcaster BFMTV. Pechier’s lawyers have denied the claims and in November they accused police of altering declarations he made during his initial questioning. During questioning this week, Manteaux said Pechier acknowledged that criminal acts had taken place at Saint-Vincent but that “he was not responsible for these poisonings.”
