The maximum penalty provided for by this article is up to two years in prison. The case materials have been sent to the court.
According to investigators, the accused, being the general director of the company, entered into an agreement to provide catering services to workers involved in the construction of the Yelizovo airport. But he did not ensure that his subordinates followed hygiene and sanitary standards, as a result of which staphylococcus ended up in the finished product. Signs of poisoning appeared in the victims some time after lunch. For most, the damage to health is classified as minor.
