China News Service, December 17th, according to comprehensive foreign media reports, in the current week, 26 people have been poisoned by Turkish fake wine and 24 people are in hospital. The death toll may increase further.
The report pointed out that the sharp increase in the number of people poisoned by fake alcohol may be related to the increase in the price of alcohol and the increase in the production of fake alcohol due to the high consumption tax policy adopted by the Turkish government on alcohol.
According to a report by Arab Satellite TV, the Turkish government stated that the police seized more than 30,000 liters of fake wine after conducting surprise inspections on 342 locations.
According to reports, at the end of 2020, in less than a week in Turkey, more than 40 people died of fake alcohol poisoning.
