Illegal Dumpsites: Nestlé Referred to Nancy Criminal Court
Nancy's appeals court has ordered the food giant to face justice, reviving proceedings over the environmental impact of illegal dumpsites located near Vittel and Contrexéville.
Nancy's appeals court has ordered Nestlé to stand trial before Nancy's criminal court, according to information reported by Le Monde. This decision reopens a legal case concerning illegal dumpsites discovered near the extraction sites of Vittel and Contrexéville in the Vosges department.
According to the same source, this revival of proceedings paves the way for new expert assessments designed to evaluate the environmental impact of these illegal waste deposits on the soil and water resources of the region, known for its mineral spring water sources operated by the Swiss group.
Le Monde does not specify, based on available information, the exact date when these dumpsites were established or the complete nature of the accusations leveled against Nestlé. The procedures and schedule for the upcoming hearing before Nancy's criminal court have also not been detailed by the source.
When contacted, Nestlé has not, at this stage, made any public statement reported by Le Monde regarding this appeals court decision.
