Suspect Arrested for Attempting to Poison Infants with Contaminated Fruit Puree
Israeli authorities have identified and arrested Yan Shamla, a man in his 40s from southern Israel, as the primary suspect in the "Prinook" fruit puree poisoning case. Shamla is accused of intentionally adding anesthetic substances, specifically Clonazepam, to baby food products with the aim of poisoning infants. The court extended his detention by six days as the investigation, which involves the Shin Bet security agency, continues.
Four infants were hospitalized in June after consuming the contaminated puree. Police investigators stated that Shamla acted deliberately in an attempt to poison the babies. Video evidence related to the alleged crime was discovered on Shamla's laptop during his arrest at his home.
The investigation began approximately two months ago when toddlers fell ill after eating the "Prinook" brand fruit purees. Shamla is suspected of acting with intent to harm infants, and the presence of anesthetic drugs in the products has raised significant concerns.
