Red Bull Producer Complains Sabotage Threat

Global energy drink producer has complained of possible sabotage after he received threats that the Red Bull cans will be contaminated with feces and will be kept at the stores. The company in its statement has said that they have received these threats few weeks ago.

Marcus Neher of the Salzburg Public Prosecutor's office said that they have received threats that the cans will be contaminated. However, when the company officials cross checked with the supermarkets, they found that the cans were not tampered. Red Bull is sold all over the globe and the company said that they have informed police and they are monitoring every minute details.

However, the blackmailers did not name any particular store in their threat. The company officials said that they have been targeted and the identity of the blackmailers are still not known. The blackmailers have asked the company to pay them certain amount of money and if they do not pay, they will start tempering the bottles.

"Someone has been trying to blackmail Red Bull for weeks", Red Bull said in a statement, adding it went public with the information in order to neutralize the blackmailers' leverage.
