Why the mafia is into your beef

Article Abstract:

The European Union bank on the use of hormone drugs in meat production, which was introduced in 1989, has led to the development of a profitable black market in hormone drugs. This is a particular problem in Belgium, where hormone dealing is believed to be the second most profitable organised crime racket after drugs. Vets and others seeking to fight against the illegal trade in hormone drugs have received threats and have been the target of violent attacks.
