The media spokesperson for the Public Security Directorate stated that a report was received by the Preventive Security Department and the Royal Management for Environmental Protection regarding the discovery of thousands of empty imported olive oil containers in Irbid Governorate, raising suspicions that unknown individuals were carrying out extensive olive oil adulteration operations with the intent to sell it at local market prices.

The media spokesperson confirmed that a special investigative team from Preventive Security and the Royal Management for Environmental Protection was immediately formed to follow up on investigations and gather information about the case. Through direct and swift procedures, the team was able to narrow down suspicion to a farm in Irbid Governorate, which was raided. The individuals inside were arrested, and 5,000 olive oil containers (tins) hidden inside the farm were seized, in addition to finding another quantity of empty imported olive oil containers at the farm.

The media spokesperson continued that these quantities were impounded, and samples were sent for necessary laboratory testing, while the investigation is still ongoing.

The media spokesperson confirmed that joint inspection and investigation teams have been formed to monitor the production and sale of olive oil, and we urge everyone not to buy oil except from trusted sources and to avoid purchasing through pages and websites spread across social media platforms.
