On a snack manufacturer. Oss Willy Selten gave horse meat as beef was ordered. And during the raid on the company Willy Selten inspectors found invoices which the species was concealed, said the prosecutor. Moreover Selten made for suspicious customer statements in which he lied that he no processed horse meat. “Customers were misled and ripped off,” said prosecutor Ingeborg Koopmans.
She does not believe that Willy Selten just made a mistake. She says that the horses were deliberately kept out of the administration. “Willy Selten saw a chance to earn a lot of money. The opportunity presented itself and he is aware boarded. The black power horsemeat was concealed and that was the intention. “
During inspections and visits the company was tidy to perform the processing of horse carcasses. “Selten was a true master of deception. He deceived anyone. His staff, the regulator and the consumer. The consumer confidence is grossly violated and the reputation of the Dutch meat industry is harmed. “
In an emotional final word repeated Willy Selten Tuesday its position. He emphasized that he might have processed a million cattle in his life and not a thousand horses. “I had and have nothing to do with horse meat. Member of a criminal organization? Source of all European horse misery? I’m totally destroyed. I was not the big horse meat swindler they sought. I was perhaps careless with the administration, but not consciously “
