Șase măcelari, puși sub acuzare în Franța după un val de infecții cu E.coli, soldat cu moartea unei fetițe

Six butchers in France have been charged over an E. coli outbreak that affected 32 people, resulting in the death of an 11-year-old girl. The investigation aims to trace the contaminated meat, leading to a nearby farm. Initially, ten butchers were detained, with six now facing charges including manslaughter and illegal slaughter. They are under judicial control and prohibited from working in butchery, except in commercial roles without handling unpackaged meat. The outbreak began in June 2025, prompting the closure of several butcheries linked to the illnesses. The case has been transferred to a specialized public health prosecutor due to its complexity and the number of victims.
