A PENSIONER who tried to blackmail Haribo by poisoning their sweets with cyanide has been arrested by police.

The 74-year-old also threatened Aldi and Kaufland supermarke­t chains, it is claimed.

He allegedly demanded £855,000 after claiming he and his wife could not live on their pensions in Bonn, Germany.

A Haribo spokesman said: “At no time has there been a threat to our consumers.”
