Summary
Toronto police pulled off Canada’s biggest counterfeit soccer merch bust ever, seizing 16,000 fake jerseys and flags worth over $3.5 million right before the World Cup. The operation began when a law firm spotted suspicious activity, leading to a warehouse full of knockoff gear being shipped to stores. Two suspects, a 41-year-old from Milton and a 62-year-old from Mississauga, have been arrested on fraud charges. Authorities say this was a large-scale scheme to cash in on fan frenzy—and it’s a major win in the fight against counterfeit goods during big sporting events.
