Maxi-operation by the Gdf in Catania, over 7,000 counterfeit products seized

A major operation by the Guardia di Finanza in Catania led to the seizure of over 7,000 counterfeit products across four stores. The items included fake mobile phones, headphones, consoles, glasses, and playing cards bearing famous brands like Nintendo, Pokemon, Apple, and Louis Vuitton. This crackdown is part of a broader effort to combat counterfeiting, which is linked to tax evasion and illegal labor, distorting market competition. The operation targeted retail outlets in Catania, Misterbianco, San Giovanni la Punta, and Giarre, dismantling an illegal trade network.
