Italian mozzarella crime syndicate foiled

According to this report, four Italian police officers have been arrested for allegedly accepting cheese as bribes from motorists they pulled over. The officers, from the Campagna region (near Naples), apparently targeted cheese delivery vans, then demanded portions of the region’s prized mozzarella in return for being exempted from a large fine (cash, presumably). According to the article, the Italian Interior Ministry is investigating another five officers for similar whey infractions.
