One million counterfeit discs seized in Guatemalan street raid
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.
