| Abstract: |
Gang’s £180m fake tuna scam is caught in the net of Scottish officials. Criminals are illegally treating tuna to alter the colour and give the impression of freshnessALAMYScottish investigators have helped to uncover a £180 million scam involving dangerous mis-sold tuna.

Faked and mis-sold produce generates £11 billion a year and can pose serious health risks. |
