Businessman found guilty in plot to pass off horsemeat as beef

A businessman has been found guilty of being part of a near-£200,000 conspiracy to pass off 30 tonnes of horsemeat as beef, much of which went on to enter the food chain.

Andronicos Sideras, 55, one of the owners of meat manufacturer Dinos & Sons, mixed the meats together before it was sold on to other firms in a plot which deceived consumers and food processors.
