- Argentinian authorities charged Andreas Kalcker with falsely promoting toxic bleach as a medical cure.
- The investigation was launched after a boy, 5, died after being given the substance by his parents.
- Chlorine dioxide is a type of industrial bleaching agent commonly used to treat wood products.
Argentinian authorities have charged Andreas Kalcker, a key figure in a sprawling movement that hails toxic bleach as a “miracle” medical treatment.
The charges follow a seven-month-long investigation by the Unidad Fiscal para la Investigación de Delitos contra el Medio Ambiente (UFIMA), which investigates medical crimes in Argentina.
The investigation was launched after the August 2020 death of a five-year-old boy in Neuquen, western Argentina, of multiple organ failure consistent with chlorine dioxide poisoning.
The child’s parents believed, on the basis of misinformation spread by Kalcker and others, that the substance had the power to ward off COVID-19, legal documents previously reviewed by Insider said.
An Argentinian judicial source told Insider that Kalcker has been charged with illegal practice of the medical profession and selling fake medicines.
The offenses, if found to have resulted in a person’s death, carry a maximum of 25 years.
Kalcker did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment. In past comments to Insider he has denied recommending that people take the substances in large enough doses to cause harm.
Kalcker, alongside several Argentinian nationals, is accused by authorities of playing a key role in promoting chlorine dioxide in the country as a cure for various illnesses, including COVID-19, in conferences, books, and on social media.
