North Macedonia food inspector arrested for demanding €300 bribe from sandwich shop owner

An inspector from North Macedonia's Agency for Food and Veterinary (AHV) was arrested after demanding a €300 bribe from a catering facility owner to avoid issuing a fine. The arrest occurred at a gas station in Avtokomanda, following a report filed with the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVR). This is a routine corruption case, notable for its small scale and local impact, with no broader geopolitical or market implications.
