Bulgarian Customs Seize Fake Belts, Perfumes
At the end of December, the Bulgarian customs officials at the Kapitan Andreevo checkpoint on the Bulgarian-Turkish border seized leather belts and perfumes bearing the logos of well-known brands, believed to be counterfeit.
The officials seized 80 leather belts bearing the Lacoste, Boss and Burberry marks after an inspection of a car traveling from Turkey to Romania. Later on during the same day the officials seized 136 eaux de toilette and perfumes, which they discovered in another vehicle entering Bulgaria from Turkey.
Legal proceedings have been initiated against the infringers.
