France's new health minister, Agnès Firmin Le Bodo, on Friday confirmed she was among several pharmacists under investigation for allegedly accepting gifts from one of the country's top laboratories. Firmin Le Bodo was appointed after her predecessor resigned in protest at the government's contentious new immigration law.
A day after the 55-year-old took over from Aurélien Rousseau, an article in the online investigative journal Mediapart alleged that she had received €20,000 worth of gifts from Urgo Laboratories between 2015 and 2020.
