MARSEILLE - Twenty-five people go on trial in southern France on Monday accused of butchering horses from the pharmaceutical industry and selling their meat even though it was unfit for human consumption.But other people, including vets, dealers and butchers also face charges over what investigators called “large-scale fraudulent practices”.
Even though their documentation identified them as horses “permanently barred from slaughter for human consumption”, they were given new paperwork and butchered in Narbonne in southern France, Verona in Italy and Barcelona in Spain. Due to their large blood and urine-producing capabilities, horses have long been used in the pharmaceutical industry to produce vaccines, serums and other therapeutic products.
Horsemeat is typically cheaper than beef and has long been part of diets across European countries, including France.The biggest horsemeat scandal erupted in 2013 when millions of ready-made meals were withdrawn from stores across Europe after they were found to contain horsemeat instead of only beef, as indicated on the label.
