Tunisie Telegraph: 60 Tons d'huile d'olive tunisienne saisie en Italie
Italian authorities have revealed that the financial police in Italy, in cooperation with customs and agricultural product quality protection agencies, seized 60 tons of olive oil coming from Tunisia. Laboratory test results showed that the oil was rancid and classified as ordinary extra virgin olive oil rather than high-quality. The shipment had been sent aboard a ship from Tunisia, stopping in Sicily before arriving in the Calabria region. It was expected that the oil would be sold as premium Italian extra virgin olive oil, which would have generated illegal profits exceeding 300,000 euros. The Public Prosecutor's Office has charged a businessman from Calabria who imported the shipment, due to its containing counterfeit oil. Authorities called for stricter oversight, updating legal frameworks to prevent oil fraud, and providing better protection for consumers and the reputation of Italian olive oil.
