Holy. Shit. Yeah, I think that even if the PR company had stuck with them and gone with the "tiny local firm bullied by international meanie" angle they seemed to be aiming for before, that would definitely have bombed in the face of "Local restaurant owner is a drug dealer and extortionist to the point where he's banned from France and Germany. P.S. the US is trying to get rid of him too."

There's international meanies and then there's international meanies, lol.

Bugged me that the reporter couldn't pronounce his name right though, 'Bouzaglo' isn't exactly hard.
