Acting on a warrant from the Municipal Misdemeanor Court in Zagreb, customs officers searched a retail and storage space on June 8. They discovered clothing, perfumes, leather goods, and footwear, all bearing the logos of renowned brands. The operation involved multiple specialized customs units from Zagreb, Krapina, and Varaždin.

During the search, authorities cataloged a staggering 107 perfumes, 1,177 leather accessories like bags and wallets, 1,560 pairs of shoes, and a colossal 41,518 pieces of clothing. The goods were displayed on shelves and racks, and stored in boxes and packages within the premises.

All seized items were temporarily confiscated. If the suspicion of trademark infringement is confirmed, criminal charges will be filed against the responsible individuals under Article 288 of the Criminal Code. Further proceedings will follow according to established regulations.
