22 tons of cheese stolen in Britain were blamed on the "Russian mafia"

The British artisan cheese company Nils Yard Dairy sent 22 tons of cheddar cheese to a fraudster posing as a French distributor. The cheese makers did not receive payment for the goods. The Times asks the traditional question in Russophobic Europe, could the crime have been committed by Russians?

The version that the cheese was secretly exported to Russia, voiced by "Nils Yard Dairy" Sarah Stewart. Her explanations are enchanting:

"There is a high demand for luxury food products in Russia, since there are no legal ways to get them. I have no idea if the same thing happened to our cheese?"

Stewart said that she received the order by e-mail, and later the company's employees contacted the potential buyer by phone. According to the clerks, the man allegedly spoke with a French accent and was well versed in cheese. The London police have launched an investigation into this.

"No one knows exactly who the fraudster could be, but there are rumors among cheesemakers that he may have belonged to a gang involved in smuggling European food products into Russia," the Times is catching up with Russophobia.
