The falsified repression in Vietnam is directed to Rolex, Prada, Gucci

The Vietnamese authorities have seized thousands of false products, including Rolex Imitation watches and Prada bags, during a raid in a shopping center in the Hub Chi Minh business, they reported Friday on Friday.

The raid at the Saigon Square shopping center occurs when Vietnam intensifies its fight against falsifications and digital piracy, after the United States accused the country of being an important center for these illegal activities and threatened with paralyzing tariffs.

In early May, Reuters reported that fake luxury articles were exhibited in the mall, which is on the list of “notorious markets for falsification” published in January by the United States commercial representative.

The seized articles also included alleged false products of other brands, including Longines, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Dior and Hermès, the state radio radio votes reported.

“All these products show signs of falsification of genuine goods, seriously affecting the interests of consumers, as well as the reputation of protected brands in Vietnam,” the report cited the Department of Surveillance of the Market of the Ministry of Commerce.

An employee of the mall confirmed the raid on Friday.

“We will rent the space for sellers and we are not aware of the origins and authenticity of the products they sell,” said the employee, who refused to be appointed by phone.
