“…The product which was at the origin of the collective intoxication presented in this paper is a counterfeit rubbing alcohol, produced by a manufacture in the county where the intoxications occured. It is a skin care product with antiseptic effect, as fine printed on the label, containing, according to the same label, a 37% ethanol [4]. In fact, as showed by the results of the toxicological analysis of the content of the bottle and by the toxicological examinations performed on the organ samples collected during the autopsy from the dead victims, this product had a 60% concentration of methanol.…”

Visual impairment appears precociously (blurred vision, altered color perception) [4,30]. Metabolic acidosis which also occurs is an important negative prognosis factor [4,29,31].…”

“…Visual impairment appears precociously (blurred vision, altered color perception) [4,30]. Metabolic acidosis which also occurs is an important negative prognosis factor [4,29,31]. The patients intoxicated with methanol should be clinically monitored for a minimum of 5 days (time required to metabolize and eliminate the methanol from the body) [4,32].…”

“…According to the WHO statistics in 2016, Romania ranks the top 5 countries in Europe for ethanol consumption, with a total average consumption of 12.6 liters of pure alcohol per capita (15+) [1][2][3]. Romanians prefer hard liquor with an alcohol concentration exceeding 40% volume, and either wine or beer [4]. The WHO statistics show that in the distribution on types of beverages, 56% of the total amount is covered by beer, followed by wine (28%) and spirits (16%) [1].…”

“…In Romania, methanol intoxication is rarely encountered in forensic medicine practice [4]; most of the cases occur among the chronically degraded persons, such as the homeless [9].

Ingestion of cheap para-pharmaceuticals (such as disinfectants, deodorizing solutions, etc.) which are designed only for external use is an unfortunate habit encountered in the recent decades in the economically disadvantaged areas of Romania inhabited by poor, uninformed, and sanitary uneducated population. These para-pharmaceutical products are based on different concentrations of ethanol. Occasionally, the manufacturer modifies the product formula, or worse omits on the label that the ethanol was replaced with methanol, resulting in mass poisoning with a large number of casualties. The authors present a case of mass poisoning by methanol that occurred during one month and resulted in 40 cases of methanol intoxication. Only 5 out of the 40 victims survived the intoxication. All the dead victims underwent medico-legal autopsy which revealed only general features, liable to poisoning. The toxicological examination result was positive for methanol in all the cases. All the intoxicated victims were homeless; they were heavy ethanol consumers, especially of the product rubbing alcohol. The male: female ratio was 31:4 and the age range was between 25 and 70 years old, with an average of 50 years. All the victims were hospitalized in deep coma, showing obvious pathological changes specific to chronic ethanol consumption. Conclusions: some alcoholic para-pharmaceutical products manufactured for external use are ingested by chronic ethanol drinkers. When these products contain methanol, they can cause severe intoxication followed by an impressively large number of deaths.

No one shall be deprived of his liberty save in the certain cases and in accordance with the procedure prescribed by law. The right to liberty and security is of highest importance in a "democratic society" within the meaning of the Constitution and Convention. In proclaiming the "right to liberty", Article 19 of the Constitution and Article 5 of the Convention contemplates the physical liberty of the person; its aim is to ensure that no one should be deprived of that liberty in an arbitrary fashion. A person may be detained under Article 19(3) of the Constitution and 5(1)(c) of the of the Convention only in the context of criminal proceedings, for the purpose of bringing him before the competent legal authority on suspicion of his having committed an offence. In this study, the concept of crime, the reasons of arrest, the concept of reasonable suspicion, the purpose of arrest, matters relating to the custody and detention conditions were examined from the point of individual application.
