Simultaneous Raids in Istanbul Resulted in the Seizure of 160 Thousand of Counterfeit Leather Goods & Sneakers
We conducted simultaneous raids against four manufacturers located by our in-house investigation team in Istanbul, with the attendance of 120 police officers this week.
The raids have been conducted in high tension due to riots and resulted in the seizure of 160,000 pieces of high-end counterfeits, including 40,000 pieces of leather bags, wallets, sneakers etc., and 120,000 pieces of semi-finished goods and production materials, which are worth around 1 million euros.
Anti-counterfeiting efforts are crucial for safeguarding public health, supporting legitimate businesses, promoting innovation, ensuring the importance of value-added production, preserving national capital, economic stability, and upholding the principles of intellectual property rights.
