The officials of the Cagliari Customs Office on duty at the airport, together with the soldiers of the Guardia di Finanza, seized 42 items bearing the Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Lacoste, Adidas, Chanel, Tommy Hilfiger, Emporio Armani and Nike brands.
The goods were in the luggage of travelers from Egypt, Tunisia, the Philippines, Bangladesh and Senegal. All sanctioned, while the items (women's handbags and men's purses, t-shirts, polo shirts, caps, wallets, clutch bags and fanny packs) were subjected to seizure. Had they been authentic, the value would have been around 16,700 euros.
The owners of the brands, through their experts, ascertained that the brands were very well reproduced and similar to the authentic ones, albeit of lower quality.
