Court issues verdict against former head of food department at Ural Federal University's Student Union over poisoning incident involving students.
Ellen Antropova stands accused of flouting sanitary-epidemiological rules, which allegedly led to a mass case of food poisoning. According to investigations, a norovirus infection was found in her on March 6, yet she continued to work for almost a week afterwards. As a result, the allegations suggest that at least 81 students and staff members at the school cafeteria fell ill.
During a hearing, Antropova labeled the incident a "pretty serious mistake" and apologized to the affected parties. "I sincerely and deeply regret it. I will be extremely vigilant when it comes to all sanitary-epidemiological regulations," she added.
The Kirovsky District Court found Antropova guilty of violating sanitary-epidemiological rules, leading to an outbreak of mass illness or poisoning. It is reported by the regional Investigative Committee that she will receive a one-year probation sentence with a ban on engaging in activities related to public feeding for 1.5 years.
Meanwhile, Rospresentation is said to be preparing a class-action lawsuit against the business responsible for poisoning Ural Federal University's SUNTS students. A food poisoning incident occurred on March 12. Thirty-four students reported feeling unwell, with over twenty residents of the dormitory being hospitalized. The culprit was revealed to be the company "Public Nutrition," with eight violations discovered. Doctors identified the symptoms as norovirus, which can be transmitted through food, water, and contact with infected surfaces. The Criminal Investigation Department has launched a criminal case, and those responsible for poisoning the students may face up to two years in prison.
