A criminal group has been arrested on charges of fraud in the sale of canned peppers

The Seprona de Navarra has intervened 1,200 cans of canned "Crystal Peppers" variety that do not meet the sanitary conditions established by the Spanish Ministry of Health.

The Civil Guard has arrested three men aged 66, 48 and 33 and has investigated a woman from Tudela (33) for a crime against public health, fraud, documentary falsehood and belonging to a criminal group engaged in the fraudulent sale of canned peppers.

It has been reported that the investigation began after the Seprona patrol in Castejón intervened on a farm in Tudela on the occasion of a small fire, in which agents observed cans of yellow pepper labeled "Glass peppers, burned with coal and peeled by hand." The agents investigated the relationship between these jars and the owner of the estate and found that those involved bought, smoked, peeled Italian red peppers and put them in glass jars.

The cans were then sold as "gourmet" products to restaurants and establishments in the Southern Basque Country, La Rioja, Soria and Zaragoza, without their authorization, so that they almost increased their profits by five. According to the same sources, the canned products were made "in deplorable hygienic conditions and endangering people's health".

The investigations carried out by the Seprona in Navarre have involved more than 1,200 cans of canned "Crystal Pepper", which have caused serious damage to people's health.

The proceedings have been referred to Court of First Instance and Investigation No. 2 in Tudela.
