Interpol has said it is seeking arrest of the founder of a French firm at the centre of a global breast implants scare. The international police agency listed Jean-Claude Mas, aged 72, as being sought by Costa Rica for offences concerning “life and health”. Earlier, France advised 30,000 women to remove faulty breast implants made by Mr Mas’ Poly Implant Prothese firm. It said there was no proven cancer risk but they could rupture dangerously. However, the UK government ruled out routine removal, saying there was “no evidence” of a safety concern. It is thought some 40,000 British women have the implants. In a “red notice”, Interpol posted two police mugshots of Mr Mas. It said Mr Mas was wanted by the Costa Rican authorities, without providing any further details. A lawyer for PIP told Reuters earlier on Friday that Mr Mas was in the south-eastern Var region of France and intended to stay there. Yves Haddad added that Mr Mas had not spoken out publicly on the scandal out of “decency and discretion”.                              –BBC
