Claudio Rampini, the wine broker, told a judge that he was simply a go-between for the co-op and the buyers, so he had no clue what was happening on the production side, and didn't know that the bottles that he was trying to sell were fake. He is currently under house arrest. "It is painful to note that, just a few years since the last investigation into false DOC wines in Oltrepò Pavese which involved around 200 people, lessons have not been learned,” prosecutor Giorgio Reposo said.
