The Civil Guard, within the framework of the
Pitanza operation
, has detained 14 people and investigated two others for the handling,
labeling and distribution of expired meat products and in poor condition
in several meat companies located in the provinces of Madrid, Toledo and Malaga.
The meat not suitable for consumption was distributed in official circuits.
The investigation has been carried out by agents belonging to the Seprona of the Madrid Civil Guard Command.
Those arrested are charged with crimes related to food safety and quality, belonging to a criminal group, crimes of fraud, forgery and against industrial property.
The agents have inspected 10 companies and
sealed a warehouse in the industrial area of Los Olivos de Getafe.
The development of the investigation allowed to know that a group of companies dedicated to the distribution of meat products nationwide
operated from department stores
and from where their products were sent to their customers, screening and
blanching meat batches.
These labeling handling practices, modification of packaging and freezing dates and from where the products were derived once manipulated, were carried out from the industrial warehouse of the Los Olivos de Getafe
distribution logistics centers for their subsequent distribution to customers.
.
The inspection and closure of this illegal warehouse occurred after finding out that a batch of products with false labels from a company investigated in Malaga was being manipulated and changed.
More than 122,000 kilograms of different meat products have been immobilized, mainly frozen chicken, beef, pork and rabbit in various
joint actions with staff from the Madrid Health autonomous body of the Madrid City Council and the General Sub-Directorate of Hygiene
, Food Safety and Environment of the Ministry of Health of the Community of Madrid, in addition to their counterparts from the Junta de Andalucía and the JCCM in the provinces of Madrid, Toledo, Córdoba, Coruña, and Málaga.
