Toys, cosmetics, balls. All branded with famous names. And all fake. 8,500 counterfeit items were seized at Cagliari's canal port in a joint operation by the Guardia di Finanza and the Customs Agency.

The goods arrived inside a container transported by the Atlantic Green ship from Tangier, Morocco.

The expert reports confirmed the counterfeiting of iconic brands such as
Marvel, Disney, Sanrio, DC Comics, Spin Master, Cartoon Network, Viacom, Hasbro. Famous football teams like Chelsea FC, Liverpool FC, Manchester United, and cosmetics from Essence and Huda Beauty.

The shipment was destined for Tunisia, but was intercepted thanks to targeted checks by customs authorities, with a market value of the seized goods amounting to thousands of euros.

The counterfeit goods were placed in judicial custody, while the legitimate items were reshipped to their original destination.

The seizure was validated by the Public Prosecutor's Office of the Court of Cagliari.
