Suicides Trial The French telecoms giant Orange is, along with its former CEO Didier Lombard and other top executives, on trial for "moral harassment" that prosecutors say led to a spate of suicides among employees a decade ago. Thirty-five staffers killed themselves between 2008 and 2009, at a time when France Telecom—as it was then known—had recently been privatized and was busy cutting jobs and repeatedly moving staff around.
