I was reading somthing about a scandal in Italy. It seems that high-end olive oil suppliers have been selling inferior oil (bout from Turkey, Greece, Tunisia), and labeling it as 100% Extra Virgin Italian Olive Oil. Supposedly, an Italian MP has sponsored a bill requiring the errant suppliers to compensate consumers for the fraud. Is this true? what sort of payout will be made?
