Over 200 take part in raid on market

Business inspectors have carried out a large-scale raid on a market in the Moravian capital Brno. Over a million crowns worth of fake branded good have been uncovered at the market on the city’s Olomoucká St in an operation involving over 200 people, including police and customs officers. Several foreign nationals were arrested in the weekend’s inspection, which uncovered a factory producing counterfeit goods. The raid – described by a business inspectorate official as the biggest for at least a year – is set to continue over the whole weekend.
