Overview
- City police raided a Belgrano shop and seized 137 bundles of imported branded clothing worth over 150 million pesos.
- Investigators using cyber patrol flagged online ads for “used” items with original tags, which led UTOJ to file a complaint and a 60‑day probe.
- Judge Gustavo Meirovich of Economic Criminal Court No. 8 authorized the search, and officers found new garments said to have come in illegally from Chile.
- Inspectors and ARCA staff said the goods lacked import papers, and the shop had no operating permit or invoicing system.
- All clothing, records, and devices were seized under Argentina’s contraband law, while a separate Santa Fe operation seized counterfeit apparel valued at 18 million pesos and notified three people.
