Investigators traced the operation to a trader in East Flanders, who manipulated passports and chips to bypass EU regulations requiring medication records for meat-bound horses. Over a thousand horses were inspected, many seized; police also confiscated electronics and €100,000 in cash. Europol and partners from the Netherlands, France, and Ireland exposed the cross-border network, echoing a 2013 scandal where horse meat masqueraded as beef across Europe—a stark reminder that food safety demands relentless vigilance.
