The Dutch horse meat scandal already shocked Europe in 2013. Now it turned out that the Dutch are still the main player in this criminal network.
European investigators have seized an international ring of meat fraudsters and seized a total of 66 suspects. The criminal network is responsible for the big European horse-meat scandal of 2013, Europol stated.
The criminal network is said to have sold cheap horse meat as expensive beef. The meat was not suitable for human consumption and was partly treated with medicines. According to Europol the head of the gang is a Dutch meat merchant. He was arrested in Belgium.
The suspects are, among other things, accused of fraud, document falsification and crimes against the health of the population. The MDR tabloid program Brisant needs a quick interview with the Europol spokesperson.
