Approximately 700,000 pieces of counterfeit product
including packaging, bottles ready to be filled as well as gallons
of counterfeit fragrance were successfully seized.
Our Anti-Counterfeiting team is proud to announce that we
successfully conducted simultaneous raid operations on behalf
of several well-known perfume brands with the
collaboration of Istanbul Police Department against counterfeiters
at 10 (ten) different locations in Istanbul.
Following the raid operations and after their statements being
taken, criminal proceedings are now being initiated against the
counterfeiters based on several charges including risking the
public health and counterfeiting well-known perfume trademarks. The
raid prevented the flow of serious amount of counterfeit fragrance
into the market, which is mostly hazardous to consumer health,
prior to the New Year. The Police Department estimates that the
market value of the counterfeit products approximately equals to
