One million counterfeit discs seized in Guatemalan street raid
GUATEMALA: More than one million counterfeit discs containing pirate music and films were seized by police in a major street operation in downtown Guatemala City today, Wednesday, 28 February 2007. In addition to the counterfeit discs, police also seized 45 CD-R/DVD-R burners, audio and television equipment, as well as thousands of counterfeit inlay cards.
Says Raul Vazquez, head of IFPI’s Latin American regional office, “We congratulate the Guatemalan police officials for a job well done and look forward to more operations like this in the near future.”
Guatemalan National Police worked in co-ordination with the Attorney General’s Office to launch a massive raid involving 560 officers on 9th February 2007. The officers raided 80 points of sale in the infamous ‘Avenida 6’ market.
The operation took place shortly after police, prosecutors and judges participated in a three-day anti-piracy seminar hosted by the US Department of Justice, the American Embassy and supported by various industry representatives including IFPI, which represents the recording industry worldwide and MPA, which represents the film industry.
