Four people, including three Bahrainis and an Asian man, are in the dock for repacking and selling damaged and expired food materials in Bahrain.

The shocking activities came to light when judicial officers raided a shop suspected of storing food packets without a licence.

The four men charged were engaged in repacking jobs inside the shop.

One of the suspects also turned out as a fugitive.

Incidents leading to the case occurred with the Public Prosecution receiving a report from the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Tourism on the shop. Prosecutors opened an investigation immediately and recorded the statements of the judicial officials.

Based on this and the evidence collected, prosecutors ordered the arrest of the suspects and pre-trial detention.

The prosecution charged them with storing and selling damaged and expired food materials, tampering with product labels, and using trade names illegally
