Brand lawyers raid in Alanya before the season: They entered numerous businesses
In Alanya, as in previous years, brand inspections were repeated before the season started. Lawyers of famous brands began to conduct checks at businesses accused of selling counterfeit products.
LAWYERS TRIED TO ENTER BUSINESSES WITH POLICE ESCORT
Lawyers representing some well-known bag and accessory brands, operating in the town center, sought to enter shops with police escort for inspections, with permission from the prosecutor's office. However, some shopkeepers expressed that such inspections regarding counterfeit products put them in a difficult position and voiced their concerns.
SHOPKEEPERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SITUATION
Business owners mentioned that they often encounter such situations and that these inspections negatively affect their business. The lawyers, on the other hand, stated that they were acting to protect the rights of the brands within the legal framework.
These inspections in Alanya before the tourist season have caused tensions between both shopkeepers and brand representatives. Authorities emphasized that both parties need to act within the legal framework.
