فاس نيوز ميديا جريدة الكترونية جهوية تعنى بشؤون و أخبار جهة فاس مكناس – متجددة على مدار الساعة
As part of its ongoing coverage of international and Arab news, Fes News has obtained information about a highly sensitive security operation carried out by Algerian authorities in the city of Sétif earlier this week. The raid led to the discovery of an illegal slaughterhouse in the Ain Safina neighborhood, where 20 skinned donkeys were found, allegedly intended for distribution in local markets. This shocking incident has sparked widespread outrage among citizens, with growing calls for stricter regulations and harsher penalties against those involved in food fraud.
The raid was conducted after sanitation workers reported suspicious activities at the site, prompting authorities to intervene immediately. According to the Algerian newspaper Al Masdar, three individuals from the same family, including a well-known butcher from the 1014 district, were arrested and swiftly brought before the judiciary under immediate appearance procedures, leading to their temporary detention pending further investigation.
Observers link the rise of such illegal activities to Algeria’s severe economic crisis, which has significantly weakened purchasing power, making it difficult for citizens to afford increasingly expensive meat products. This situation has driven some traders to seek illicit alternatives to maximize profits, taking advantage of weak market oversight and the lack of strict laws to deter such crimes.
The case has gone viral on social media platforms, with Algerians expressing outrage and demanding strict government measures to combat food fraud. Many are calling for enhanced market surveillance to protect consumers’ health and deter any attempts to compromise food safety.
