Police Shut Down Illegal Factory Producing Counterfeit Clothing in the Baixada Fluminense Region

The operation seized machinery, raw materials, labels, and a large quantity of counterfeit parts produced illegally

The Civil Police dismantled an illegal factory that manufactured and sold counterfeit clothing during an operation carried out by agents from the DRCPIM (Department for the Suppression of Crimes Against Intangible Property) in the Baixada Fluminense region.

During the operation, police officers located a property being used to produce garments that illegally replicated well-known brands on the market.

At the site, a large quantity of counterfeit clothing, labels, raw materials, sewing machines, and other equipment used in the manufacture of the goods was seized.

According to the Civil Police, the operation represents yet another blow against piracy and crimes against intellectual property—practices that cause economic losses, affect consumers, harm legally established companies, and strengthen the activities of criminal organizations.

Investigations are ongoing to identify others involved in the production and distribution chain of the counterfeit products, as well as to hold all participants in the scheme criminally liable.
