ROE TO RUIN

Yesterday it was about the Caviar Mafia in Kazakhstan. Today we remain in this profitable underworld which is protected by officials.

An Al Jazeera report about the Kazakhstan authorities ‘battling’ against the caviar mafia (or is it dancing?).

Sturgeon poaching and smuggling brings the sturgeons in the Caspian Sea to their end – within the next 10 years! Note that 90% of the worlds sturgeon population is in the Caspian Sea. Wild caviar is, as Caviar Emptor puts it, a ‘roe to ruin’. And not only for the Beluga, but for most of the sturgeon species!
