Breast implant scare: Interpol seeks French boss arrest [View all]

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 being sought in Costa Rica for offences concerning "life and health".

Earlier, France advised 30,000 woman 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.
