Makes heroin smuggling look minor league.
In Istanbul, a police operation against a gang sending bottles of famous
knock-off perfumes to Europe resulted in the seizure of fake perfume
valued at 372.962 million TL (about $53.5 million) (!). The 30cc and
50cc bottles of the very high-quality fake perfume sell for about $100
each. A number of the 24 trucks (!) filled with the fake perfume were
displayed in the police parking lot.
"The wife's gonna want a piece of this raid."
Over the course of 20 days, police identified the warehouses and
production site used for the fake perfumes and last week raids were
made on nine different addresses in Başakşehir and Küçükçekmece.
The fake perfume was being produced at a site in Başakşehir and
stored at the other eight locations.
Best-smelling cops around.
Seized in the raids were over 464,000 bottles of fake perfume ready
for sale, 2,825 liters of fake perfume ready to be bottled, along with
966,571 boxes for the fake perfume, bottle caps, empty bottles,
perfume valves, perfume labels and packaging paper. In addition,
two machines for filling the bottles and capping them were seized.
Four individuals were taken into custody.
The fake perfume was being sent to Germany, Romania, Serbia
and Bulgaria, along with other European countries and some Arab
nations.
Başakşehir and Küçükçekmece are on the west side of
Istanbul.
