A operation conducted by the Green Berets of the Provincial Command of Verona has led to the discovery of a **phantom kennel** in Bussolengo, where **40 dogs in critical conditions** were found. The inspection began on December 9 during a roadside stop when officers noticed an emaciated dog being transported in a van lacking proper documentation. After following the driver to his home, the financial police discovered numerous animals confined in cramped cages and malnourished, along with the carcasses of farm animals in the garden.
The owner of the kennel has been reported for **animal abuse**, while health authorities have imposed a health quarantine on the dogs. Following a joint intervention by veterinarians and local police personnel, all animals have been entrusted to organizations and private citizens to ensure they receive a dignified life. Investigations are ongoing to ascertain further violations related to the animals’ custody and the sanitary conditions of the property.
