Vinho Verde commission cooperates with authorities following fraud investigation
Portugal's Vinho Verde region is in the middle of a major fraud investigation called 'Puro Verde'. Police have arrested eight people including four commission officials and raided 21 properties following an anonymous whistleblower tip. It's a rough moment for the region's 12,000+ growers and 400 bottlers, though the commission's insisting it had no prior knowledge and is co-operating fully with authorities to sort out what's happened.
