The Macau Customs Service said in a statement yesterday that its officers have raided seven shops selling fake branded sporting products such as backpacks, training shoes, sports clothes and bum bags.
According to the statement, the raids took place before and during the ongoing FIFA World Cup in Russia, which began last Thursday.
The seized products have a retail sales value – if fraudulently sold as genuine proprietary articles – of 480,000 patacas, the statement said, adding that 11 people – comprising nine locals and two non-resident workers – were allegedly involved in the seven cases.
