Laos' Methanol Poisoning Case: A Tainted Investigation The methanol poisoning case in Laos has taken a dark turn, with victims' families and friends accusing authorities of a cover up.

Last Friday's court proceedings saw the distillery owner charged with running an illegal business and selling harmful food products.
