In 2014, Marian Furcelea, a 9-year-old boy, was found out of breath near a company investigation in Prahova County. OMV Petrom was sent to trial for the crime of wrongful death, after the death of the minor. He died of gas poisoning near a well in Ariceştii Rahtivani.
Violent death
Evidence showed that the child’s death was violent and was due to acute respiratory failure that occurred during acute and accidental poisoning with the probe gases, resulting in the atmosphere by bypassing the probe’s operating column.
The prosecutors considered that the inhalation of the gases by the child was possible because the location of the valve and the end of the bypass in the operating column of the well were not properly fenced or marked, as OMV Petrom should have done. Continue.
