Pazardzhik: Over 500 clothing and footwear items with famous brand logos confiscated

Police in Pazardzhik confiscated 544 articles of goods with logos of famous brands without rights thereto. The illicit merchandise was seized from the Romani neighborhood “Iztoк” and includes jackets, jeans, sweaters, and athletic shoes. It had been offered in two shops in the central part of the neighborhood.

The owners of the goods are a 61-year-old woman and a 33-year-old man, residents of the neighborhood. When questioned by judicial authorities, they stated that they bought the clothes themselves from Turkey, and that the goods had crossed the border legally.

According to locals, this type of trade is a common livelihood in the Iztoк neighborhood, with gold jewelry also being sold besides clothing. The incident is documented in two specific cases and the materials have been referred to the prosecutor's office. Swift actions have been initiated against the owners of the non-compliant goods.
