Raid at Ballermann: Does the Operation Clean the Souvenir Market or Shift the Problem?

Answer

Do raids on souvenir sellers in Mallorca actually solve the counterfeit problem?

Raids can make a visible difference by removing fake items from stalls and shopfronts. The harder question is whether the goods are only being pushed elsewhere, such as into hidden storage, mobile selling or broader networks. In Mallorca, lasting change usually depends on stronger checks, follow-up investigations and court action.
