Yous Guys Moved My Cheese
Lino Saputo, the billionaire cheese-making owner of Saputo, who is almost universally identified in media reports as a Montreal cheese magnate, is fighting back in court against allegations printed in Canadian and Italian papers linking him to the mafia.
Cheese maker Saputo Inc. (TSX:SAP) is suing several Canadian media for defamation over stories linking founder Lino Saputo to the Italian Mafia.
Reports published in December alleged Saputo was part of an investigation by Italian police into a Mafia money-laundering scheme worth some $600 million.
Both the company and Lino Saputo have denied links to organized crime and say legal proceedings in Italy have already confirmed Saputo is not under investigation by the Italian police.
More from the Canadian Press. Perhaps fighting back against the suit, one popular Canadian site today is featuring a non-Saputo list of The Best Cheeses You’ve Never Heard Of.
