Kuala Lumpur: The police believe the frozen meat cartel which allegedly uses fake halal labels involves a wide network, masterminded by local and foreign syndicates, says Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department Director Datuk Huzir Mohamed.

He said this was based on the volume and value of the seizures made prior to this.

“Investigations into the activity are being conducted under Section 505(b) of the Penal Code for causing fear or alarm to the public.

“In addition, the investigation includes those involved in the acquisition, storage, processing, smuggling, as well as those who manipulate, conspire and bring in the frozen meat through the Approved Permit (AP),” he said in a statement.
