Abstract: |
Italian opera supremo Andrea Bocelli has been scammed by fraudsters who produced thousands of fake bottles of his branded wine, selling them for up to 10 times the cost. Police seized around 30,000 bottles of counterfeit wines, some carrying the singer ’s Bocelli a Lajatico label, following raids in the Italian regions of Lazio, Liguria and Umbria, according to a report by La Repubblica. The tip-off that led to the three-month investigation came from discerning drinkers who realised the wine was not the real deal. |
