Panamanian authorities have arrested twelve individuals in connection with the operation of an illegal workshop producing counterfeit jerseys of the Panamanian national soccer team. The workshop was located across two residences in Las Arboledas, Panamá Oeste. Authorities discovered the operation was engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of fake uniforms closely resembling the official team apparel. The operation was clandestine, indicating an attempt to avoid detection by authorities and potentially evade taxes or licensing fees. The arrests signal a crackdown on the production and sale of counterfeit goods within the country, particularly those related to national symbols and sporting events. Further investigation is underway to determine the full extent of the operation and any potential connections to larger distribution networks.
