Splash of suicides in France Telecom investigated in France

According to the foreign media, the public prosecution of France is investigating suicides of more than 30 employees of the company France Telecom in 2005-2010. Lombard used to head the company exactly in those years. 

Trade unions accuse him of putting pressure on the directive link of the corporation which caused frequent nervous overstrains of the personnel. Some of the deceased even openly called France Telecom the reason for their suicide.

Lombard was released on bail of 100 thousand euros after interrogation.
