A man was arrested in occupied Cyprus under the charge of selling meat that was carrying stamps by butcheries in the free areas to the Turkish occupation army
Turkish Cypriot daily Star Kibris newspaper (13.09.09) reports as a front page story on the sale of meat which was “illegally imported from the Greek Cypriot side” to the Turkish occupation army and writes that officials of the Celebi Meat Products who, in July 2007, had been arrested for illegally trading in 1.5 tone of meat from the free areas of the Republic of Cyprus in the occupied areas, were detained again under the same charge.
According to the paper, in a control performed by officers of the “Veterinary Office” on September 11th, it was found that more than 634 kg of meat delivered to the occupation army were carrying stamps of abattoirs in the free areas. Hasan Uzer, so-called deputy inspector responsible for the investigation, said to the “court” that the meat was sold to the Turkish Armed Forces in Cyprus by Vanet Company, the owner of which is Salih Celebi. The “court” ordered that Salih Celebi remains in custody for three days.
