The Fraud Advisory Panel in the UK has published a special report into the extent of the problem and the front-line work of the people trying to tackle it. It mentions cases, saying that toxic alcohol kills about 1,000 people each year in India; and in 2015 fake ‘Jack Daniels’ which was in fact 60% methanol killed more than 2 dozen people in Russia. The report says that the Experts believe that the structure of the modern alcohol industry makes it particularly vulnerable to fraud.
