According to an exclusive document is provided "Le Nouvel Observateur", Dominique Lucciardi filed a patent in 1998 for implantable breast prostheses
It is that we do not hear, that which we do not talk. Dominique Lucciardi is the companion of Jean-Claude Mas, founder of Poly Implant Prosthesis Var (PIP) company under investigation for "involuntary injury" in the scandal of defective breast implants.
Mother of his two children and sole owner of the house they live in, it never appears in the charts of the PIP. Yet provides a "friend" of the couple, "the brain in the story, she is." It was thanks to Dominique Mas Lucciardi that would be launched in the manufacture of breast implants. When they meet, she is the wife of a doctor of physics and surgeon at the hospital in Toulon, Henri Gilbert Arion, a pioneer of the fake breasts.
"Creator wacky and prolific, it was a real Gearloose, inventor of the steam scooter and a device to prevent the turmoil in the port of Monaco," says Dr. Boucq, cosmetic surgeon, a time associated with girl Arion.
While she managed the MAP laboratory Arion, Dominique Lucciardi, a chemist by training, hiring Mas commercial. Then she learns the secrets of prostheses. Together, they begin to flood the world with pockets of silicone. In 1998, itself an international patent (see document below) for "a method of anti-abrasion for implantable breast prostheses treatment."
Jean-Claude, engineering VRP, himself is responsible for refourguer equipment. Through various financial arrangements are clever as opaque, the couple created around PIP France myriad of shell companies based in tax havens - in Luxembourg and in the Virgin Islands - and the United States. Requested by "Le Nouvel Observateur" repeatedly, Dominique Lucciardi has always refused to comment.
