More than 800 items of counterfeit clothing and gadgets, and three people were reported. This is the balance sheet for an operation carried out by the Lodi Financial Police between the Lodi region and the Province of Cremona.

From a printing house in Pandino, in the province of Cremona, the branded replica shirts and paraphernalia of the most famous Serie A teams ended up on store shelves, where they were sold to unsuspecting buyers. However, all this was discovered by the financiers of the Lodi County Command, who, as part of an anti-counterfeiting operation, convicted three people and confiscated 850 items of clothing and tools. The Fiamme Gialle operation started from two stores in Lodi and Sant’Angelo Ludigiano, where the financiers discovered that clothes and other items such as water bottles, pins and key rings with the brands of different football teams are on sale: Inter, Milan, Napoli, Juventus and Roma. And it turned out that many of these products are counterfeit: hence the seizure and complaint of the owners of the shops, with accusations of bringing them into the state, trading products with false marks and receiving stolen goods.
