Grizzly Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I think the thing we can agree on is that he should be found guilty or innocent based on the facts and not whether he is Italian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Three points... Everybody should be regarded as innocent until proven guilty. It is exceedingly difficult to prove a negative e.g. for the Saputo's to prove they have NO association with the mafia. Perception is everything.

ag futbol Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 -New post- Personally here's my take: 1. Having such a large legitimate business there is no need to be tied to the mafia, or risk everything by being tied to the mafia 2. The Italian media / cops are not reliable. A lot of activities they do like this amount to a dog and pony show. People(unfortunately) are addicted to scandal, this is the type of dirt they like to drag out to sell to the public. I'd put this one right next to the Chilean news reports of the U-20 player who said he was thrown in a room with 15 cops and beat up. 3. If there was any legitimacy to this, Saputo would have a 100 cases against him by now from the feds. The activities are so large and public in nature that they would be extrmely difficult to conceal. 4. It's possible that their business has come into contact with mafia people, but that doesn't mean it was willing. There are tons of fully legitimate businesses that get targeted for these type of things, and the owners are completely blindsided by the activity. It does not mean they are willing accomplaces. The Bonanno thing falls under this category. When you look at the totality of the situation Saputo being involved with this kind of activity makes little sense.

Grizzly Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 On a related note, yesterday I bought a 1 kg. pack of Saputo Mozzarella cheese and am eating some right now. It was on sale for $8.99, a price so cheap that it is almost criminal! (Sorry but I couldn't resist that bad joke.) Say what you want about the Saputos but they sure do make some good cheese!
