Three men were arrested Tuesday for allegedly selling beef cutlets that a major curry restaurant chain had intended to dispose of.
There were identified as Kazuyuki Onishi, 75, head of a now effectively defunct industrial waste disposal company in Aichi Prefecture; Masao Okada, 78, de facto manager of a noodle processor in Gifu Prefecture; and Masatoshi Kimura, 76, former senior executive of an Aichi-based food sales company.
They are suspected of selling waste from Curry House CoCo Ichibanya as food.
