The Carabinieri have reported two people, an Italian citizen and a man of Pakistani origin, for crimes related to clandestine slaughter and failure to comply with health and hygiene regulations.
The operation stems from an operation carried out on November 1st in Gergei . During a check at a sheepfold, the military's attention was drawn to a Peugeot car, used by a Pakistani citizen, parked near the entrance to the facility. Inside the vehicle, they found nine freshly slaughtered sheep , sealed inside nylon bags.
According to the Carabinieri's reconstruction, the meat was allegedly sold by the local farmer for €720. To verify the legitimacy of the operations, the assistance of veterinary staff from the Oristano Local Health Authority was requested. According to the technicians' findings, the cattle were slaughtered in the sheepfold without adequate sanitary conditions and in violation of current slaughter regulations.
The suspects are charged with killing animals, illegal slaughter, trafficking in harmful food substances, and illegal waste management. The livestock were destroyed.
