Unlicensed and Unmonitored: Pig Slaughterhouse Raided in Keserwan

As part of the ongoing judicial follow-up on illegal farms and slaughterhouses that lack legal licenses and medical standards, the Jounieh Judicial Detachment, acting on instructions from Prosecutor General Judge Ahmad Rami Al-Hajj, arrested two individuals managing a farm and slaughterhouse

for pigs in the Keserwan area. This action followed a physical medical inspection conducted by the Jounieh Judicial Detachment and delegates from the Ministry of Public Health, which revealed the absence of legal licenses and the lack of sanitary and veterinary requirements for raising and slaughtering pigs.

The Prosecutor General referred the detainees to the Central Criminal Investigations Division for expanded interrogation and pending laboratory test results on meat samples collected by health inspectors.
