A 39-year-old man has been arrested in Austria for his alleged involvement in an attempt to blackmail a German baby food manufacturer. Austrian police detained the suspect in connection with an attempted blackmail case in which rat poison was placed in jars of baby food produced by the German brand HiPP.
A 39-year-old man has been arrested in Austria after rat poison was discovered in HiPP baby food jars in supermarkets across central Europe. The incident was uncovered when a customer in Eisenstadt, Austria, reported a tampered jar on April 18. This triggered an investigation by the Burgenland State Criminal Police, with the public prosecutor's office launching a probe into suspected 'intentional endangerment of the public.'
A man has been arrested in Austria over the discovery of rat poison in a popular brand of baby food, according to police. The arrest comes after the Swiss company HiPP last month issued a partial recall of its products after authorities found rat poison and an unspecified 'toxic additive' in jars of baby food sold in Austria, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
Austrian police arrested a 39-year-old man in connection with an extortion attempt involving rat poison in baby food jars produced by German brand HiPP. Five contaminated jars were recovered in Austria, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia; a sixth jar remains unaccounted for.
