Meatpacking companies ‘bribed inspectors to keep rotten meat on the market’, police say

‘Two big Brazilian meatpacking companies bribed inspectors to keep rotten meat on the market, police said as they issued dozens of arrest warrants, while a judge accused the Agriculture Ministry of betraying the country.

On Saturday Agriculture Minister Blairo Maggi said he would meet with ambassadors and representatives of the European meat industry on Monday after investigators said some of the meat was exported there.’
