Mississippi restaurant, co-owner sentenced for decades-long fish mislabeling scheme
SUMMARY: Mary Mahoney’s Old French House restaurant in Biloxi, Mississippi, and co-owner Anthony Cvitanovich were sentenced for a long-standing conspiracy to misbrand seafood. The corporation substituted cheaper imported fish for the premium species advertised on its menu. The company received five years of probation and a $1.5 million penalty, including a $149,000 fine and $1.35 million in forfeiture. Cvitanovich, sentenced to three years of probation and four months of home detention, was fined $10,000. The case, stemming from activities between 2002 and 2019, was initiated by the FDA’s Office of Criminal Investigations.
