Spanish national police have seized nearly half a million fake toys and handmade toys in the Cobo Calleja industrial area in the town of Fuenlabrada in Madrid, according to reports. A man and a woman were arrested during the operation on suspicion of industrial property infringement and forgery of documents. The counterfeit goods had a market value of 5 million euros, making it the largest seizure of such products in Spain to date.
The investigation began in early May, when an industrial building in the industrial zone attracted police attention during a campaign to prevent intellectual property crimes. There was a steady stream of buyers at the place, but access to the warehouse was strictly guarded, with a man outside controlling the comings and goings of people. After the inspection found that the warehouse stored a large number of international brand fake products. The two men distributed the goods to different agencies to sell alongside the genuine goods, thus masking their illicit origins. In addition, the Spanish police confirmed that the lease of the warehouse was carried out using documents that had been reported missing and did not belong to anyone connected with the operation. Currently, two merchants have been arrested and will be brought to court for trial.
