The French-speaking Society of Infectious Pathology (Spilf) filed a complaint in July against Didier Raoult with the departmental council of the Bouches-du-Rhône Order of Physicians, Le Figaro revealed on Wednesday.
The institution brings together more than 500 infectious disease specialists.
She accuses the famous Marseille professor of having violated nine articles of the code of medical ethics in his relentless promotion of chloroquine.
A long procedure
According to France Bleu, the penalties incurred range from warning to permanent delisting.
However, the procedure could take months or even years before the departmental disciplinary chambers of the order of physicians examine the case.

At the end of July, the head of the Institut Méditerranée-Infection had himself filed a complaint, this time with the Paris prosecutor's office, for "slanderous denunciation" against the director of Paris hospitals (AP-HP), Martin Hirsch, who accused him of "false testimony".
