A COSTA Del Sol resort worker has been accused of trying to poison tourists by pouring bleach over a buffet dinner.
A 50-year-old woman was arrested after an alleged revenge plot against the hotel for firing her.
Guests at the holiday resort raised the alarm after witnessing her pouring a yellowish liquid over a tray of fruit and yoghurt in a glass dessert display case during an evening buffet meal.
The unnamed employee then returned to the kitchen pushing a cleaning trolley used to remove dirty plates.
A hotel receptionist and head of security quickly alerted the police after suspicions rose.
Two bottles of dishwasher detergent containing bleach were confiscated by cops, according to Malaga newspaper Sur.
Police also discovered some of the affected buffet food had been tainted with the dangerous chemical, after they ran tests.
The terrifying incident emerged today as the 50-year-old was charged with a crime against public health.
Reportedly occurring just before 9pm on 31 May 2023, this disturbing alleged act of revenge has now come to light as prosecutors seek a jail sentence for the former employee.
She could face three years in prison as she has been ordered to stand trial for the horrifying alleged poison plot.
The law she has been charged under carries a two to six years prison sentence.
This worker has denied any wrongdoing and is expected to register a not-guilty plea when she enters a court hearing in Malaga.
She was also accused of pouring bleach into a bottle of milk used by colleagues, five days before the buffet incident.
A pre-trial indictment referenced the second shock poisoning allegation.
The ex-hotel worker is accused of trying to enact a frightening revenge scheme after allegedly being informed earlier that week that her employment contract was going to be terminated.
The name of the hotel has not been revealed but is expected to be shared once the trial starts.
It was not immediately clear this morning when the trial would take place.
