At an unspecified time in August-September 2012, two individuals — Defendant 1 RF and Defendant 2 TK (of Slovak and Czech nationality respectively) — made a poisonous mixture of methanol and ethanol and sold it to Defendant 3 JV, whom they knew to be a distributor of alcoholic beverages. Defendant 3 JV (a Czech national) then proceeded to distribute the harmful alcohol to others until it ultimately reached consumers in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. This case study examines a court case in the Czech Republic involving the unauthorised production and distribution of alcohol containing the toxic substance methanol between August and September 2012.The defendants’ illegal activities caused dozens of fatalities and numerous serious injuries, which caused significant public distress regarding the safety of alcoholic beverages in the country.
