A look back on the dark side of the pizza

While the pizza culture is celebrated in Vienna, the "Pizza Connection Trial" is reminiscent of a completely different, dark side of the pizza tradition. This notorious process, which took place in New York between 1985 and 1987, was directed against a criminal network of Sicilian and American mafiosi, which used pizza restaurants as camouflage for their drug trafficking. It is estimated that between 1975 and 1984 they imported $ 1.65 billion in heroin in the USA, it cost what it wanted. In the end, more than 18 defendants were convicted of how wikipedia . Prominent key witnesses such as Tommaso Buscetta also contributed to exposing the machinations of the mafia and bringing those responsible to court.

This shows that the world of pizza not only consists of delicious delicacies, but also contaminates. The participants in Vienna are aware of the great responsibility, which is associated with their passion, because they not only contribute to the fact that the good pizza culture lives on, but also steer against illegal use of tradition.
