The attention of the financiers focused on A “tik tok profile” connected to a website, which advertised the marketing of covers for smartphones, charging cables and airpods. The most in -depth examination of the web page in question allowed the military to also ascertain that the site manager was in possession of high materials and equipment and performing technology (plotter, hot presses, laser engravers, 3D printer, sewers/embroiderers etc.), instrumental to the production and processing of counterfeit goods that were marketed onlineas well as tools for the creation of videos used to advertise products with falsified brands on social media and on the website.
