361 kg of donkey meat in Syrdarya: how did the driver get caught?

Another serious case of illegal transportation of animal meat has been revealed in Uzbekistan. This was reported by the Millar program of the National TV channel.

As it turned out, a Lacetti car traveling along the Karshi-Tashkent route was stopped by road patrol officers in the Syrdarya region. During an inspection of the vehicle by law enforcement officers with the participation of witnesses, it was discovered that a large amount of meat products that looked suspicious were in the cargo compartment of the car.

During a conversation with the driver, he stated that these meat products did not belong to him, but were only driving to deliver them to the specified address at the request of other persons.

However, an employee of the quarantine measures group of the Syrdarya regional internal affairs department sent the meat to the laboratory of the Syrdarya regional veterinary and livestock development department for examination. According to the results of laboratory tests, it was officially confirmed that these meat products were donkey meat, and its total weight was 361 kilograms.

Currently, the Syrdarya district internal affairs department is conducting an inquiry and investigation into this case. Investigative bodies are conducting a comprehensive investigation to determine the root causes of the violation and the sources of origin of the meat.

As is known, such illegal situations can pose a serious threat to the health of the population. Therefore, the relevant departments are taking strict measures against such actions.

This incident has attracted the attention of not only the residents of the Syrdarya region, but also citizens of the entire country, and the issue of controlling the quality of meat products has once again become a priority. The situation that has arisen shows that it is necessary to strengthen the work on ensuring food safety and protecting the rights of consumers in our country.
