National Police in Palma have arrested a man suspected of an intellectual property offence after a raid on a warehouse in Mallorca uncovered thousands of counterfeit football garments. Officers were alerted after a burglary at the warehouse, where they spotted a man forcing his way in. He allegedly said he was renting the premises but could not find the key. When the forced-open door was opened, police found hundreds of fake football shirts inside, leading to his arrest on suspicion of offences against intellectual property. The Anti-Money Laundering Unit later returned to the warehouse and counted nearly 6,000 T-shirts, tracksuits and kits from various football clubs and national teams. If sold illegally on the street at retail prices of around 20 euros per T-shirt, the goods would have been worth over 120,000 euros. Investigators believe the suspect was part of a distribution chain for Chinese-origin goods. They said significant quantities of counterfeit products, manufactured by a Chinese company, were imported for redistribution from Catalonia to other parts of Spain. The detainee was believed to supply local sellers of counterfeit items, with the products described as high quality and potentially able to deceive consumers. Police said the market value of genuine items with the same characteristics would exceed half a million euros. The investigation continues following the arrest by the National Police in Palma.
