FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Police said Mr Mandara, who was photographed chomping on a cigar as he was led
away by officers, was arrested on suspicion of mafia association and
endangering public health. They said two tons of the company’s mozzarella
may have been contaminated with minute ceramic fragments from a broken
machine.
The company was also accused of passing off ordinary provolone cheese as being
of a more superior quality with false labelling. Following news of his
arrest, Mr Mandara was expelled from the Consortium for the Promotion of
Buffalo Mozzarella after an emergency meeting of its council, which
described the allegations as “very serious”.
The police operation was welcomed by Legambiente, a leading environmental
organisation in Italy. “Investigations like this guarantee the protection of
people’s health and safeguard one of the most important sectors of the ‘made
in Italy’ brand,” said Michele Buonomo, the president of Legambiente in
Campania.
While mozzarella is one of Italy’s signature foods, used in everything from
sandwiches and pizzas to the classic “caprese” salad, it has been hit by a
number of scandals in recent years.
In 2010 the Italian authorities had to issue a Europe-wide alert over possible
contamination of mozzarella after balls of the cheese turned blue.
In 2008 police investigated reports that some cheese was being made with milk
contaminated by dioxins, carcinogenic chemical compounds, which had leached
into the grass eaten by the buffalo as a result of the illegal dumping of
toxic waste by the Camorra in the countryside around Naples.
The scare led some countries to suspend their imports of buffalo mozzarella
and to Italian cheese companies placing advertisements in newspapers to try
to reassure consumers that only small amounts had been affected.
Coldiretti, a national farmers’ association, said that Italy’s four mafia
organisations make an estimated £9.8 billion from investments in agriculture
each year. The association said mafia groups, including the Camorra,
invested money made from drug dealing and prostitution.
