Mineral Water Sabotage Scare Spreads Across Italy; Some Bottles Injected With Household Bleach

The Associated Press

ROME Dec. 12 — Several people fell ill across Italy on Friday after drinking apparently tainted bottled mineral water, the latest in a scare that has prompted prosecutors to launch investigations across the nation.

The case centers on a series of apparent sabotages in which bottles of mineral water have been injected with household bleach just below the cap.

In total, more than 500 cases have been reported, with most concentrated in Italy's north, officials said.

Italians are among the top per capita consumers of bottled water in Europe, though Italian tap water is generally safe to drink. The country suffered a similar scare in 1998, when animal rights activists injected Christmas cakes with rat poison.
