The police have arrested Pavel Čaniga, the executive director of the
liquor company Likérka Drak, and are still searching for the head of
Drak’s distribution company Verdana, Robert Sedlařík. The two men are
suspected of endangering public health with harmful products, after 7,600
bottles of rum containing 50% methanol were discovered in a storage
facility belonging to Verdana at the end of last week. According to the
police, the bottles were ready for distribution to stores, which could
have
caused a considerable number of deaths. Both Mr Čaniga and Mr Sedlařík
denied any knowledge of the dangerously mixed liquor, but failed to
produce
documentation for more than 56 thousand liters of alcohol found in the
Verdana warehouse. Mr Čaniga is currently being questioned by the police,
but no charges have been brought against him so far.
