Brussels – From “Mafiozzo” Italian style coffee from Bulgaria to “Chilli Mafia” snacks of Britain, from “Palermo Mafia shooting” spices of Germany to the “SauceMaffia” sauce to flavor fries and the “SauceMaffioso” for pasta unearthed in Brussels, these are among the cases in which business at the table is done taking advantage of the most painful and hateful episodes, characters and forms of organized crime, to the detriment of real made in Italy food products. Thi was stated by Coldiretti positively commenting the decision Marks and Designs Office- Cancellations Division – of the European Union, that decided to cancel the number 5510921 mark, hupholding the Italian appeal on the invalidity of the mark at the Spanish restaurants chain “La Mafia” ( “La Mafia se sienta ala mesa”), but the chain has appealed. Now begins a long battle which opposes a group of nearly 40 restaurants throughout Spain with more than 400 employees, which has built its own image on Italian criminal histories. (9Colonne)
