The Bluefin Tuna mafia is the least sexy of all the mafias, according to Maltese people approached by Bis-Serjetà this afternoon.
Following the news that the director of Malta’s fisheries has been suspended due to allegations of bribery, Bis-Serjetà took to the streets of Valletta to ask people for their thoughts on the scandal.
“Don’t get me wrong, I get that it’s a lucrative industry that makes millions of euros a year, but it’s still fish isn’t it?” – Vanessa Caruana, 42, from Qawra.
“Personally, if I had to choose which illicit activity to be involved in , I’d go for drugs or people trafficking or the illegal arms trade. Tuna farming would definitely be my last preference. I just can’t stand the smell.” – Kurt Borg, 27, from Qrendi.
“I doubt Francis Ford Coppola ever though about making a mafia film about fish. Although if he did, he could’ve called it The Codfather. God I’m clever. Actually wait I think I stole that from a fish & chip shop I saw in London once.” – Karen Abela, 33, from Birkirkara.
“I appreciate that they’ve tried to spice things up by including an attractive Maltese woman and a Spanish guy with a sexy name, but it’s still not doing anything for me.” – Charles Mercieca, 54, from Rabat.
