Bulgaria seizes 64 tons of illegal frozen meat

Xinhua, December 6, 2016 Adjust font size:

Bulgarian fiscal inspectors have captured 64 tons of illegal pork and veal meat carried by three trucks entering from Romania, officials said here on Tuesday.

The drivers, two Polish and one Bulgarian citizen, declared they were transporting dough, the National Revenue Agency said in a statement.

However, a subsequent inspection of the cargo revealed that the trucks were loaded with frozen meat.

The investigation has been taken over by the Ministry of Interior.

Since the beginning of 2016, the fiscal control unit at the National Revenue Agency has tracked the movement of nearly 1 billion kg of risk goods such as meat, fruit and vegetables, sugar, flour, milk and dairy products, according to an official statement. Endit
