China's biggest meat-smuggling case in a decade was uncovered by police in south China's Guangdong Province, authorities said Thursday.
Shenzhen Police recently seized a foreign cargo ship in the waters under the city's jurisdiction, confiscating about 2,219 tonnes of smuggled beef, chicken wings and pig feet worth 200 million yuan (31 million U.S. dollars), according to the provincial public security bureau.
In total there were 71 containers packed with frozen meat. It is alleged that they were en route to a undisclosed place in Guangdong, according to the police.
The investigation continues.
