Impoverished French given poor quality meat in fraud scheme Associated Press Published 10:15 PM EDT Jun 7, 2019 Paris – French authorities have launched an investigation into an alleged fraud scheme involving French and Polish companies suspected of providing minced meat of extremely poor quality to charities. France’s anti-fraud agency said Friday that the French company that sold 1,500 tons of frozen steaks worth 5.2 million euros ($5.9 million) to charities in France as part of a program financed by a European aid fund bought the meat from a Poland-based provider. Investigators suspect another French company of acting as a go-between. |
