The Institute Hospital-University Mediterranean infection (IHU-MI), directed until mid-July by Professor Didier Raoult, is again in turmoil. The public prosecutor was seized by the Minister of Health, François Braun, and the Minister of Higher Education and Research, Sylvie Retailleau, for facts “likely to constitute crimes or serious shortcomings to regulations In terms of health or research “, according to A common press release published Monday September 5.

The prosecutor of Marseille Dominique Laurens indicated the same evening to the agency France-Presse having opened a judicial information. The decision follows the publication on Monday of an inspection report of the two ministries (Igas and Igesr) uncovering “serious dysfunctions of Ihu-Mi concerning the quality of its research and care activities”.

In addition to 150 pages, a particularly negative assessment of Didier Raoult and “his” IHU, created in 2011, is drawn: “drift of governance”, “management mode generating malaise at work”, “strategy at Re -examine “,” deviant medical and scientific practices “… The report also questions the quality of scientific production, one of the pride of its former director, noting that the Marseille institute produces more research articles in REVIEWS OF LIKE INFORM that the other IHU.
