Arrest in Mallorca: German allegedly ran 42 fake shops

Answer

What does the Mallorca arrest mean for the wider fake shop network?

The arrest may help investigators access devices, data carriers, and digital records that could reveal more people involved. Authorities believe the wider network may be much larger than one suspect, with many users and sellers connected to criminal platforms. Even so, one arrest does not end the problem, because these structures can be rebuilt quickly.
