The Carabinieri of the Rho Company and in particular of the Tenenza of Bollate and of the Novate and Arese stations, together with the Financiers of the Paderno Dugnano Company - with the support of Local Police personnel - they carried out last January 14th, in the city of Branded, an intervention to contrast the“illicit marketing of counterfeit products” and “organised commercial illegal activity”.

The operation arose from previous intelligence and territorial control activities which made it possible to detect the presence of a abusive market where they were sold goods bearing the brands of well-known fashion brands, national receips ed foreign, of suspicious origin and dubious authenticity which created, among other things, a context of urban decay with numerous improvised vendors bivouacking in the area.

The activity ended with seizure of over 3 thousand items of clothing and accessories counterfeit products of various types (bags, belts, shoes, jackets, wallets, scarves, perfumes, etc.), with a market value of approximately 160mila euros and with the referral to the Public Prosecutor's Office at the Court of Milano of 5 people per forgery, sale of counterfeit products e stolen.
