Horsemeat culprits sentenced to jail Aidan Fortune · 01 August, 2017 Two men have been jailed and another has received a suspended sentence for fraudulently adding horsemeat to the food chain. Andronicos Sideras, owner of Dinos & Sons Ltd, and Ulrik Nielsen of Flexi Foods were sentenced to four years and six months’ and three years and six months’ imprisonment respectively at Inner London Crown Court on Monday 31 July. A third man, Alex Ostler-Beech, also of Flexi Foods was given an 18-month suspended sentence. The case stems from an investigation by City of London Police in 2013, which revolved around meat trading company Flexi Foods, with UK offices in Hull, and owned by Ulrik Nielsen based in Denmark. Alex Beech was the UK representative of the company. |
