Manager of French restaurant accused after lady died of botulism

The owner of a French restaurant has been accused of causing the death of a woman who died from botulism after eating at his restaurant.

Botulism is a rare and dangerous illness that can cause paralysis and is fatal for about 10% of people who get it.

It comes from a strong poison made by a germ that can live in food that’s not preserved or cleaned properly.

A 32-year-old woman from Greece got sick after eating bad sardines at a wine bar in Bordeaux during the rugby world cup.

After going to the southwest city to see a rugby game with her husband, the couple got sick when they came back to their home in Paris and had to go to the hospital. The woman died later.

French health authorities and police found that about 25 people were affected by the bad sardines served at the wine bar.

At least 12 people were taken to the hospital, and 7 of them were in the intensive care unit.

Yesterday, the owner of the restaurant was arrested and today accused of causing accidental deaths, injuring people, putting others in danger, not helping someone in danger, and selling food that was contaminated or poisonous.

If found guilty, he could be sent to prison for up to five years.
