Peruvian fiscal police dismantled a criminal organization known as “The World Cup Copies” after raiding three illegal printing facilities in Breña. The operation uncovered over eight million counterfeit items related to the 2026 World Cup, intended for sale throughout the country. Authorities seized a significant quantity of adulterated merchandise and dismantled the illicit production network. The operation targeted locations in Breña, a district of Lima, where the counterfeit goods were being manufactured. This bust aims to protect intellectual property rights and prevent economic damage associated with the sale of fake products. The police investigation is ongoing, with potential for further arrests and seizures. The counterfeit operation posed a threat to legitimate businesses and consumers ahead of the major sporting event.
