Paris hospitals had deemed the act “scandalous”.
An investigation for "breach of professional secrecy" was opened in Paris after a surgeon's attempt to auction off a radio from a Bataclan survivor, according to information from BFMTV confirmed to Parisian by the Paris prosecutor's office.
"The investigations were entrusted to the BRDP", the Brigade for the repression of delinquency to people, said this source.

The boss of the AP-HP Martin Hirsch had immediately announced that the hospitals of Paris would take legal action, denouncing a “scandalous act”.
According to the online media, the radio was on sale for $2,776.
For her part, the Bataclan survivor said she was "extremely shocked" by the "mercantile approach" and the "contempt" of the doctor, her lawyer said on Monday.
"A gross mistake that I bitterly regret"
It is “a gross error that I bitterly regret”, for his part indicated the doctor in a press release.
"I realize that I have completely lost my way in an inept and inappropriate approach which legitimately offended those I had the honor of caring for: the victims of attacks", he added.
The doctor specifies that he destroyed “the work in question” and assured that he had “derived no profit from it”.
Asked by BFMTV, Emmanuel Masmejean justified himself by assuring that he did not really want to sell it, but "interest people" for an educational purpose.
The trial of the jihadist attacks that killed 130 people in Paris and Saint-Denis on November 13, 2015, opened in September, is due to continue until May.
