'Seized' caviar treat for poor
Updated on 23 December 2008
Poor and homeless people in Italy are to be given caviar this Christmas alongside traditional foods such as lentils, pasta and cake.
The windfall comes after police seized 88lb of Russian beluga in Milan. The food is banned in Italy under endangered species regulations.
Officials, who destroyed caviar impounded last year in a similar raid decided this time to give it to the Red Cross, Franciscan monks, homes for the elderly, and other organisations that will prepare lunches for the homeless.
