Criminal Gang Busted for Distributing Tainted Poultry in Morocco

In total, three people were arrested, including the driver of a poultry transport truck, the manager of a clandestine depot, and the manager of an also clandestine industrial unit where the slaughter and processing of chickens took place. During a search carried out in the clandestine depot in Bouskoura, the elements of the Royal Gendarmerie proceeded to seize several tons of white meat, unfit for consumption, reports Assabah.

What is the work of the members of the network? After slaughtering dead or sick chickens, they carried out cutting and processing operations before proceeding to their packaging. The members of the network then transported the goods to their customers. Among them are caterers organizing party meals, as well as snacks and kebab restaurants, in several cities of the kingdom.

Pending the determination of the ins and outs of this scandal, and the possible ramifications, the arrested persons were placed in custody at the disposal of the investigation opened under the supervision of the public prosecutor near the court of first instance of Casablanca.
