Bukit Aman CID director Comm Datuk Huzir Mohamed said the suspects, mostly directors and managers of various companies, were arrested during Ops Kartel Daging that was carried out last Friday involving 19 companies in six states.
Comm Huzir added that the suspects, consisting of 26 men and 10 women, got their supply from a food company in Ulu Tiram here, which imported frozen meat from Brazil. He added that investigations into the frozen food company revealed it had four permits to import 108 tonnes of meat into the country. Comm Huzir said aside from importing meat from Brazil, the company also received its meat supply from local companies before repacking it and distributing it to its customers.
He stressed that the activity had created doubt in the public on the halal status of all meat in the market as it also did not have any verification from the Veterinary Services Department in terms of hygiene.
