Counterfeit perfume seizures

Entities: Mexico City · Gertrudis Sánchez · Fiscalía General de la República (FGR) · Gertrudis Sánchez neighborhood · Gustavo A. Madero

Overview

In mid‑July 2026, Romanian police in Vicovu de Sus seized 58 counterfeit fragrance items from a market stall, opening a criminal case for trademark infringement. A week later, on 25 July 2026, Mexico’s Federal Attorney General’s Office (FGR), together with the Federal Ministerial Police, raided a commercial premise in the Gustavo A. Madero district of Mexico City and confiscated 2,474 bottles bearing forged logos of well‑known perfume brands. The raid followed a formal complaint by the brands’ legal representatives; the seized items were handed to the Federal Public Ministry for further investigation, with no arrests reported. Updated reporting confirms the same seizure count and notes that authorities are probing the source and distribution network of the illicit products. The Mexican operation was part of a broader crackdown that also saw the National Customs Agency and the Navy seize a shipment of 236,400 counterfeit cigarettes at Mexico City’s airport. Together, the coordinated actions in Romania and Mexico illustrate heightened law‑enforcement focus on counterfeit perfume trade and related intellectual‑property violations.
