Luxury imitation factories are not just in China.
As a big exporter of luxury goods, Italy has not shown weakness in the matter of "shanzhai". In 20 13, Italian police seized a "cottage" luxury goods factory and confiscated 320,000 counterfeit handbags and accessories, including Gucci, Prada and other famous brands. The police said that these were run by Italians, Romanians, Senegalese and Moroccans and were processed in Campania, Lombardy, Naples in the south and Milan in the north.
Walking into sweatshops in Italy, counterfeit products of well-known brands such as Gucci, Prada, Fendi and Louis Vuitton are piled up here.
As an old luxury country, Italy has spared no effort to crack down on domestic "cottage" luxury goods. Since the beginning of this year, the Italian police have investigated and dealt with many acts of counterfeiting and selling fake goods, confiscated 64 million fake goods, carried out 5 0 arrests and arrested many individuals related to criminal organizations. Although Italy has cracked down on luxury goods counterfeiting, counterfeit brand-name goods are still rampant in the market. In some popular tourist areas, unlicensed stall owners are still selling counterfeit luxury goods. Original link web page link
