Italian to English translations [PRO]
Art/Literary - Idioms / Maxims / Sayings / Reference to an Italian TV show | | Italian term or phrase: Centro Antitarocco | An article refers to the TV Show 'Striscia la Notizia', and an episode they broadcast recently about Fake Parmesan cheese. It refers to Agents from the show's own 'centro antitarocco' -
I have never seen the show, but I assume they're some form of undercover reporters - I wondered if it is a lighthearted show, or a serious show,which would determine how this should be translated?
Suggestions welcome -'Anti-Fraud Centre' or 'WitchHunting Centre' -

Explanation:
It is an absolutely lighthearted, quite politically incorrect show, but so far it helped to find out some of biggest squalid frauds in Italy. :)

Asker: Thanks for the cultural input - knowing it is a satirical show, rather than a serious documentary makes the translation so much easier
