Algerian judiciary launches investigation into deliberate destruction of food supplies
The Prosecutor General at the Algiers Court has ordered immediate and comprehensive investigations following the circulation of videos depicting individuals disposing of large quantities of edible produce and food products in remote areas. The probe, overseen by the National Pole for Combating Organized Crime, aims to identify criminal syndicates suspected of deliberately creating artificial shortages to manipulate market prices. Authorities have classified these actions as a severe threat to national food security and consumer purchasing power, stating they are not isolated incidents but part of a coordinated effort. The police are now working to identify all those involved in the financing, organization, or execution of these acts. The judiciary remains committed to strictly enforcing the law against anyone attempting to destabilize the market, while urging the public to report any suspicious activities related to the waste or hoarding of essential goods.
