Open letter from ambassador to Spain says Casademont Zaragoza’s sponsor links crime with friendliness and relaxation
Italy’s ambassador to Madrid has publicly admonished a Spanish basketball club for accepting sponsorship from a restaurant chain called The Mafia Sits at the Table, saying the name trivialises organised crime and the human and economic damage it inflicts.
The ambassador, Giuseppe Buccino Grimaldi, made his “discomfort” and “confusion” plain in an open letter to the president of the Casademont Zaragoza club posted on the embassy website on Monday.
