Hong Kong customs has seized counterfeit products worth HK$52 million (US$6.7 million), including more than 6,000 fake Uefa Euro 2024 and Copa America football jerseys, in a three-week operation.
Acting Senior Superintendent Tammy Tam Pui-ying of customs’ intellectual property investigation bureau said on Wednesday an investigation revealed the shirts were destined for America, Europe and the Middle East. The items, which could fetch as much as HK$2.4 million if sold in those regions, included counterfeit England and France jerseys.
Customs officers also arrested two people and seized an additional 31 counterfeit jerseys during raids on two online stores.
