Businessmen who mixed horse meat with beef jailed for 10 years

Greedy fraudsters who tried to pass off 30 tonnes of cheap horsemeat as beef have been jailed for nearly 10 years.

Ulrik Nielson and Andronicos Sideras secretly mixed the cuts with beef and sold on 83,000kg to big companies to use in ready meals and pies across Britain and Europe.Their horsebeef scam was only discovered when a surprise inspection in 2013 found horse ID chips in batches labelled “100 per cent beef”.

Nielson, Sideras and a third man, Alex Beech, were sentenced together at Inner London Crown Court yesterday .

Nielson, who wore a checked blue shirt was jailed for three years and six months and banned from being a company director for ten years.

Flexifoods would buy beef for about three euros per kilogram and horsemeat for two euros per kilogram.

The meat would then be sent to Sideras’s cold-store, Dino’s and Son, in Tottenham, north London, where it would be secretly mixed.

Fake labelling to trick buyers into thinking it was beef was also produced at Sideras’s property while Flexifood found unsuspecting buyers for the dodgy mixes.

They were caught out when Sideras sent a batch of mixed meat to the wrong buyer, which then rejected the delivery before it was sent to a cold store in Northern Ireland.

A surprise inspection of the cold store revealed horse DNA in the batch of meat, along with the horse identification chips.

Most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by their Pastors – Papa Shee

Evangelist Papa Shee says most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by Pastors. According to him, most Pastors in Ghana currently are occults and with the way they are been celebrated by their followers, they initiate them into occult groups without their knowledge. He mentioned that Ghanaians lack knowledge and that has always been the reason why Pastors take advantage of them. Related Posts Quoting a Scripture from Matthew, Papa Shee mentioned that no one should refer to a man as his/her spiritual father because the word speaks against it.

Residents of Samreboi cry on gov’t to fix their roads

Residents of Samreboi are up in arms with the Government of Ghana over neglect of their roads. According to residents, It has become very worrying as their bad road network is affecting not only economic activities but also their social activities. Residents of the timber and Cocoa producing town in the Western Region of Ghana say they have been unfairly treated by several governments; the neglect they say they do not know what to attribute it to. A worrying feature of their roads they say is the fact that moving from Samreboi to neighbouring villages and towns become impossible especially during the rainy season hence bringing economic activities to a standstill. Residents say even though the year has been declared “Year of Roads” they are yet to see a kilometre of road being constructed.
