The Guardia di Finanza of Turin has completed two large operations by carrying out the seizure of over 5.3 million items in Milan and in the Novara area and discovering a fraud worth around 30 million euros .
The first intervention, born from some suspicions about the too affordable prices on some garments presented as high quality, the Green Basques carried out checks through scientific analyzes of the chemical laboratory of the Cnr of Biella from which it emerged that in fact the fabrics marked as silk were actually made from acrylic . Going back to all the stages of the supply chain, the Fiamme Gialle have identified two depots managed by an Asian-born entrepreneur in Milan, in the Sarpi district. Inside the structure there were over 51 thousand items of clothing sold falsely as fine clothes and bearing well-known luxury fashion brands ("Louis Vuitton" and "Fendi"). The man was reported.
While over 5 million telephone accessories (power banks, battery charger cables, covers, headphones, earphones, stereo speakers) with signs and symbols typical of the "Made in Italy", but actually entirely produced and subsequently imported from China, were seized in two warehouses in the Novara area. The Italian entrepreneur will have to answer for the crimes of fraud in the trade and sale of industrial products with misleading signs. The goods, if placed on the market, would have yielded an illicit gain of approximately 28 million euros.
