schema:articleBody	Hundreds of litres of toxic wastewater have leaked into Paris' Seine River from a plant belonging to Franco-Swiss cement giant Lafarge-Holcim, local reports said, sparking outrage from French officials. Lafarge acknowledged the spillage but insisted it had been the result of sabotage, rather than an intentional act by the company. The contaminated liquid is composed of a mixture of cement, wastewater treatment liquid and plastic microfibres and comes from a Lafarge site in the east of the city, Europe 1 radio said. "It's a complete environmental scandal, as we have been working with our partners for a long time to improve the quality of the River Seine," Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo said on Twitter. The city government "will ask prosecutors to open a case for these grave acts that harm our environment," she added. Paris prosecutors told AFP they had opened an investigation into pollution of the river with harmful products on August 27. In a statement, Lafarge said it was the "victim" and described the spillage as an accident provoked by a "malicious act". The cement giant said the leakage has now been stopped and controls reinforced. Environmental activists have previously accused Lafarge of contaminating the River Seine and in February staged demonstrations against the Paris site. Environment Minister Barbara Pompili said on Twitter a team from her ministry would be going to the scene and those responsible would face justice. In April 2019, France's Vinci firm was also accused of discharging cement wastewater in the River Seine. The company was subsequently fined 50,000 euros ($60,000). jrp-bur-ech/sjw/tgb
