  • [01] Authorities raid large warehouse full of counterfeit goods

    (ANA-MPA) -- Greek police (EL.AS) and Athens municipal authorities on Wednesday raided a massive "black market" warehouses in the downtown area, with thousands of counterfeit brand name items reportedly detected at the scene.

    The warehouse, located on Kolonou street, was equipped with closed circuit television monitors set up inside and outside the building, special installations and hidden passages that led to enormous underground storage areas situated in an adjacent building. The illegal warehouse measured at least 2,000 square metres in total area and hosted a huge volume of counterfeit items found, a press release by the City of Athens stated.

    The operation was carried out in the presence of the public prosecutorâs office in collaboration with police, the Athens municipal police, the special investigation service and the Athens prefecture's sanitation department.
