Operation "Battery" by the Spanish Revenue Authority Seals 200,000 Counterfeit Batteries

Recently, the Spanish Revenue Authority launched a "battery operation" to collect a large number of counterfeit batteries, USB discs, fake materials and counterfeit trademarks in the Cobo Calleja warehouse area of Fuenlabrada. According to reports, these counterfeit products can make a profit of 75,000 euros per day. During the operation, two Chinese were arrested.

It is reported that the "counterfeit operation" took place on April 19 local time. According to the Spanish Customs Service's customs supervision department, Cobo Calleja has cameras outside the two warehouses and therefore suspects that there may be some "suspicious behavior" in the warehouse area. When law enforcement officers entered the warehouse for inspection, two Chinese carried a bag of user information, trade lists and key to the gate. Thespecial arrested the two Chinese.

Tax officials found that the warehouse was divided into two by a wall: the first half was a lawyer's building and did not participate in any fraud, and the second half of the warehouse was a nest for counterfeit batteries. When the taxman arrived, the machine that made the fake battery had heat left.

Tax officials also found U-discs with different capacity specifications in the warehouse. These U-discs were printed with a well-known brand trademark. Tax authorities said the counterfeit warehouse could produce 25,000 counterfeit batteries a day, making a profit of 75,000 euros a day from counterfeit products. Law enforcement officials seized a total of 226,400 batteries and 5,000 U discs during the operation, as well as mass production of raw materials.
