"Thanks for the mafia money!" 
RZ - Who are they?Let's just say they're "connected". They run a cheese company and one of them is the principal owner and president of the local MLS team.
RZ - Is cheese outlawed in Canada or something?In Montreal they take their cheese seriously. Cheese curds are serious bidness
Drogba has connections?

I don't know a ton about it, but basically Quebec is notorious for mafia cheese which is of a cheaper quality and they basically strong arm local businesses to buy it.
Quebec cheese is to the mafia what waste management is in NY/NJ.
You take money from Don Lino Saputo, you fucking better say thank you.
Whambo -I've heard that Pizza Hut refused their offer to buy Saputo cheese for all their locations. They started going up in flames shortly afterwards.RZ - Is cheese outlawed in Canada or something?

LOL I'm dying amazing thread
Owner of a local dairy farm didn't pay on time. Woke up with a cow's head in his bed.
These guys are far from being small-time, Canadian-cheese mobsters.
They just bought the largest dairy producer/cheese maker in Australia with the goal of breaking into the Asian market.
They own a soccer team and are largely now on the up and up.
Buts let's just say if you can make a large corporation like Pizza Hut suck your breadstick, you probably have some serious clout.

For the record, the Saputo family is one of Canada,s wealthiest families. While their core business is dairy, they are far from a small time operation, nor are their holdings limited to dairy.
While there have been rumors of mob connections in the past, no such charge has ever been substantiated. At this point, they are a big enough international business that small-time gangster shit would be more trouble than it would be worth. For all that we like to conflate "successful Italian family" with "mob", this is a multi-billion dollar international empire, not a corner deli from "the Sopranos"

No doubt that now mobster stuff won't help them in any way shape or form.
We are talking about the saputos' beginning when some mobster arm tactics surely helped them win a few customers.
