The Public Security Sector and the General Administration of Supply and Trade Police led these intensified campaigns. Various security directorates coordinated these operations. The campaigns targeted supply crimes, specifically focusing on activities at free and subsidized tourist bakeries. The seized flour included both white and subsidized local varieties.
The Ministry of Interior continues its efforts to protect consumers. Authorities aim to tighten market control across markets.
