this is the 1st of a to fall to investigation. ah. the global food tray keeps as constantly supplied with things to eat and drink and most of the time we pay it little attention. but do he really know what's in that food? how about horse meat lasagna, or fake beef bugs, or olive oil made without olives? or tuna laced with deadly nitrates, county feet, foods cheap and sometimes dangerous copies of the real thing have been found all over the world. and in even the most expensive premium products. it's the secretive and deadly multi $1000000000.00 business. our journey along its hidden paths, as revealed a deeply disturbing tale, in which whistle blow as an insider's avail, the trades dug his to practice. while investigators and prosecutors struggled to expose the crime, gangs, and profit is involved a battle against criminal corruption running through the international food business and on to our plates. and so how of these mfc has gained such control over what we eat and what can be done to root them out? well, come to the shocking world of food fraud. with food products are often being recalled from supermarket shelves. it's usually for minor reasons, and most of the time we barely notice it happening. but sometimes something about one of as recalls makes us stop and think more deeply about the food we take for granted. suddenly we understand that knowing what we're reading and where it comes from, can be a matter of life and death. it's then that we give thanks for those whose job it is to pay better attention to such things. in late 2012 islands, chief food safety official. notice that beef prices were plummeting. worried about where this cheap me was coming from. he ordered dna sampling of 27 commercially available products. we found one product was about one 3rd, horst in a, in us and which was just an incredible finding. we went back and check. we double checked on a travel check, because we understood that if we were to go out public with such a story, if it was known to have no crime in the facts, the horse meat was found 1st in hamburgers than later in lasagna than massacre and ravioli. in fact, it was discovered in a wide range of products being sold to consumers as beef all over the world. at the time we thought it was large problems, sorry enough to be a global problem on products, helping withdrawn from shelves and faced like sing for hong kong in some of the car being countries. so really we are looking at ash was really has developed into a massive world this particular scam was based around mincemeat. one of the most common ingredients and a wide variety of off the shelf ready meal. had it not been for an unusually diligent government official. it would have gone unnoticed for years. instead, the revelation sparked outrage around the world. angry crow girls started her career as an investigator on this case. she's a member of food watch, a european organization that protects consumers. yolanda i le balance it, which is a full balance to alabama offline on the mac. and by mostly you, they plan to hold alamos challenges each of the best we can to speed lashona the media, test it on imo, i mid to late tests are in today's awful, my cell phone is going to be specific. i'm exceptional. further, research revealed that the adulterated meat had been used in around 4 and a half 1000000 ready meals product distributed by some of the biggest brands in europe. but how did it get into the food chain and the 1st place, a major international investigation quickly throw up clues that pointed to the netherlands. specialist fraud detectors from the dutch food safety authority were called in. where is the source of this? that was the big question. who put the, the horse meat inside the beef products with global food fruit now generating as much profit as drug running? it's perhaps not surprising that karen goose, so 17 strong unit. he has the same investigative and arrest pow's as a narcotic squad. by that i believe though, the main thing that we do when we carry out criminal investigations, ah, is to reconstruct the money flow and the flow of goods and connect these together. but this time it wasn't quite so straightforward. the team quickly identified the manufacturers of the suspect mincemeat products. and then behind them they found several wholesalers. but beyond these wholesalers, there were yet more traders market specialists to buy and sell meet online in quantities of hundreds of thousands of tons. that's when he got complicated lashida to crazy. fuck a key ever. the 8020 she police until he did. madame us will, the pedo can buffer by the schedule, know, and they are let us possibly book bombs. you get a tablet program on a computer to say, to quickly complex to work. eventually the detectives began looking at a dutch meet trader called young. fasten sam fast is actually someone we've known for a long time. he 1st caught our attention in 2008. i'm when we arrested him. exactly because of this fact. so we were hoping that that would scare him off. but then in 3rd, 2013, we discovered that he hadn't stopped to avoid the dutch authorities. he unfasten, had moved to belgium, where he teamed up with, among others, the owner of this warehouse. here they began buying and storing frozen horse meat, which a 2 euros piccolo was less than half the price of beef. soon they were making 20000000 euros in proper to year. although the business was challenging. young fos and had to hire an office space in a big freezer complex. he had an employee that was changing labels daily. he had businesses in cyprus and in other countries. he made a whole business of it. it was his daily work. that doesn't sound easy to me. fossil sat at the head of a lodge network. his company was registered in cyprus and imported horsemen from canada and rumania. the meat was then sold to his associate wholesalers. the 2 main ones were located in belgium and france. it was at these companies that the fraud took place. the host meat was transformed into beef by the simple magic of a label. the wholesalers, salt, the fake mince meets to a luxembourg manufacturer of ready nails. these fake products were then distributed to hundreds of supermarket. ah ha ha possibly he kinda sick. he lashed out a candle, coolio the security there it back sun auto glass is krishawna navea and sheila they end or let you know they don't get on the quantity. phenomenal, come savvy, caught on a battle. i couldn't a niece economy to know this wilful neglect, infuriated christoph lucy, who says it shamed the whole industry. he worked for 20 years as a traitor for several major european food processing groups. off the horse gates as the scandal was later cold. he turned whistleblower to squeeze off on it, said the sweat the new school year will hope was a hockey though minimum sank easily. she knew one let me onto ski motel him on to see. he said, avo methodically make what to say to if you don't mind, patty, do you mean you is escalate up to it? should you boss with emp america? get you over it? i should come up on a week. passcodes. you just like a little fussy doesn't f, as in blue. say, says he decided to go public. even though he himself had been forced to commit fraud. we should do ashley to put you. you can nominate. i passed a high bus cornered them on their bus to battery but was not on alpha ye now i live bound fiscal. awesome. but when the money mom, the money that you they put ve keith in the most get, he did only take 100 fail given for do not easy. chantel is completely for him. yes . we'll plan for the commercial public as your company in 2015, he wrote the 1st of a number of books, exposing fraudulent practices across the food processing industry. for medical, pompey support and there's just 2 3rd kid is he to flip eyes on? sit on on your mom. i left was as to what you had me. he did he do for the alef was for me sir. do you propose they put me off for the yellow for the key? young jack said nobody padia the preach on phenomenal. what many of christoph, who says revelations were dismissed or contested by his former industry, but added to the outrage. many felt about host gate. they did promise the european authorities to act if she felt made as you don't get it. not your naughty damage about a month on your tune. it's here in brussels that the major rules concerning europe's food are devised. it's then up to the individual states to implement them. for eric law, home, an official at the european commission, the horse meet scandal was also a turning point. loma mom and yet you effect said when you increase achia fiduciary said chris until then mama had been proud of the european public health surveillance system. but he discovered that europe was badly equipped to deal with this new threat affecting its food. is your said he me to assist them? can i better on all these any escalade cost, re machine that multi i doing the pursuit. oh, hold on, hold on. i bet she to does. she stamped you till you come on. the dick dilly problem to sante public electrical panels with all their corporate mold is army fuss? i can cushion is kim, more kentoria, isn't copies. you increase the conceal 0. you for the 15th casuals. no producer, remarkable. they dictated, put him to sante public middle dick d delicious piece unfold, workable europe's food fraud network was born out of this concern. its officials now work round the clock to try and track down counterfeit food. the worse it leaves accidents such as food poisoning to others, to investigate and focus is almost exclusively on intentional cases of fraud. yeah . ok. i clear calla most i say what i'm on love. hold on. don't go only mid on that . we'll have bo, hook, salmonella, police them all. the dutch authorities, i regret only by cclc has shown that his or her piano at the point got tagged or shakeed them all. we'll publish it is a pharmacy or coffee don't. cl, sebra auto. gov. yours, but we're as you, it could be they don't. what is it m o is as it did design premier evolution for this to happen. we, all the $27.00 european states must be flawlessly compliant with the rules. but sometimes they aunt claim, as demonstrated by a 2019 case, also involving beef 6 years of the whole scale the scandal was serious and france was at the heart of it. this time, the fraud concerned a government order for 1500 tons of mince steaks, intended for distribution to charities. but the charities raised the alarm when they discovered the strange, whitish color of the meat. the beef had been ordered from poland, which was a controversial decision from the outset. was it that it is like a pompous jew on nathan the b at a clap rebellion jaeger, or they probably mani me. your put human though when i yes. did you stage? i lot what would log? no, they be wanted play bianca la. la la, la peterson la putting on my on down did is getting the agreement there. dixie hub . examine will this in recent years, the rest of europe has purchased a lot of cheap polish beef. it's competitive prices do partially to low labor costs . as a result, poland has become one of the world's leading meet, produces with an industry worth around $6000000000.00 euros a year. but some are concerned i guess john to seal generalize champ leo, come sit on franklin. what else late july, clint willis, chocolate will if you'll, if you'll believe his highness of pleasure. i thought it was in georgia clearly to pull yourself as much as she laid on her political phone. said there's no nectar i couldn't walk, has shown a sick daughter lives on a, to my call to an hour to an want to phone you labor. whenever you said, explore your, had you last year, you call max the anomalies, to small larry w, polemic securely called, horn. nobody. those fears were realised in 2019, when the french charities in receipt of the meat added tested, isn't it? and i won't hold good shoes. should aunt over duty, she crawled. tish, dig lorna limit. good. did he should have weed off? i got on it. said the opposite. back to the stupidly you perceive the toyota, dis, shit about. well, hopefully as it will, i will talk talk what up don't go on 10 to 14, no sir mount, when the apostrophe them off me on truce. put our mortal to put in on that need to put in digital or kick as the more we yeah. type of jonathan of plea. in other words, pure beefsteak, apparently replaced by slaughterhouse by products and protein supplements. and this meat was intended for people in need. back in paris, the matter soon drew the attention of french senator fabia gate, who set up a commission to investigate further the model of the old issue, a route would establish doolittle a kiss or so to con, poorly surely shows are pretty well republish said the yobbos apollo thought, oh sou, if the one is interested in conflict, it don't close reduce it to the cosy. it should have been a straightforward inquiry according to you rules. each link in the supply chain, providing all the documents necessary to establish the origin and destination of the food. this is called traceability, and it works. if everyone follows the regulations, was on the comp committee up up the fell a possibility law pover nozzler on top of the article, mood usually completed, diminished to come up with the to show me mer, boy as crusade. love your balloon is levine can adjourn. who would love your new trainer? her ask was a couple in dallas or so he did it on the african senate, again told us that he was unable to find out where the polish wholesaler, a company called bernacki, had source the beef products listed in the contract. because the company didn't provide traceability. documents and that he then discovered that france, i agree, mare, a public body that is ordered from the same supplier, since 2013 had never actually asked for. the lynette is dice. k. e, a lot of his piano key. yeah, he's happy. poor lennox hid them in the z. laudrup on y'all, the sean osgood ramon awful. so you may already we, we are today's underscore yellow. so soon control here. i'm here a don't care could john that he a video issue there on the media stuff on the not icbc barrow near jerusalem alarms, the not proper on radio bow fed to a lot of hispanic in of a, to contribute as examples of the swa could apiece is all be on a key. could you anyway? could, can call marsha nicholas of jermel sen, gays investigation shows that the french government may have been at least negligent in the management of a 30000000 euro public contract spread over 4 years. so how could the french authorities pursue this matter further in another e, you state? the problem is that the pan european phil fraud network for all its rules and regulations, has no investigative powers electrically could i come sooner or can prove other police. sokolov, reynold, is it m, o, a, c, o, g e for his or kit is issue is of home su, elongated eco. she don't a peek. he was at a pharmacy, so it fell to the polish government to take over the investigation. the states veterinarian authorities approached the company involved b. annette ski is one of the new giants of the country's hugely profitable meat industry. it's supposedly subject to the same regulations as the rest of europe. is a governor to forget on the douglas county savannah. and mister was quite a show came from us here, show q. when you get a control you folks cause i'm to be shipped to system test on a console ski and not them if someone could probably drive the controller to start with. i'm sure. don't ya. nipple to the official vanya, not the mythical apartments are going to start with. in other words, according to the polish authorities, the matter is that an end. we wanted to us to be on that ski more about this investigation. and the concerns raised in france about its products. our attempts were rejected. meanwhile, 2 polish journalists had spent 6 months working on another story involving the polish beef industry. it to raise disturbing questions. their undercover investigation began when one of them, patrick sta, panic, managed to get himself hired in a small regional slaughter house. we got that tip that there are some indigo procedure happening in the one of us, other houses. we knew before that there are similar procedure, ongoing and others for their house. but this one knew exactly that this is going on the other house. so in the middle of nowhere, there is no possibility to take a look without getting anyone's attention. so i changed some of the periods changed from my behavior and went for a job interview to this other house. if my sounds ridiculous but i got the job and then the next day i started to work on the slope man in the 1st trucks of couse a think that was coming out a few of them had some routine pods. few of them like, you know, like they have some white thing going out from them or no mouth and there is no better force your body is. she just came up in the early in the morning to check out the heads of cows can behave like the this is bullying me magically out in the middle of a night and he just comes around. i don't see shown on polish television, their investigation caused a storm was going to be the other side of the team, broadened their investigation to other slaughter houses across the country. undiscovered similar practices elsewhere with thick capital not fit for consumption, entering the food supply chain. me got the big aspect and then our ministry of agriculture had to take some actions. they ordered and massive checkups and everything was southern house in portland for like 400 of them. but the one who's being expected knows about it like in a week in advance. so there is no surprise effect. i talked with several phone ministers of cousin deputies which told me and this fink this candle. everybody knew about it that is going on, but it is convenient to basically leave it on and work it because it's pure profits, right? the concern is that sub standard meat from the slaughter houses has been sold on to unsuspecting consumers, both in poland and overseas. the need from the southern has right here, was founded like 14 countries, france, germany, republic, saudi arabia, turkey. eventually, the revelations caused the diplomatic crisis that european level and you authority in brussels, sent inspectors to audit the entire polish beef industry. their report in april 2019 was damning listing numerous shortcomings in sanitary procedures and traceability. if one took up the additional control on us, which she said don't put on more box, she won't get a cocktail party. the state only changed the law, so it's still happening somewhere. right. but poland isn't the only country wrestling with food froze. and beef is not the only concern. in part 2 of this investigation will go in search of the spanish fraudsters trading in poison tuna and murphy gangs in italy, making a fortune from fake olive oil. the ah what is the price of luxury? an undercover team travels deep into the illegal cocoa plantations of the ivory coast. simple solutions are very hard to find for something as complicated as the child with chocolates, hearts of darkness, encounters unpaid child labor. as working in a 100000000000 dollar industry. over half of the countries, cocoa producers live below the poverty line on al jazeera ah, revealing eco friendly solutions to combat threats to our planet. on al jazeera, from the al jazeera london broadcast center to people in thoughtful conversation, i got much worse races. and when i was at the university of oxford, which really scared me because i was like these people are going to be in positions of power. with no host and no limitations. empire is the reason that we live in a multicultural society. part 2 of 5, the shaheen and adam rather fate studio p. unscripted on out his era. the latest news as it breaks bush, 40 her about a kilometer in that direction. you are you in military?
