Raid at Playa de Palma: Nearly 6,000 Counterfeits — What’s Really Behind It

Answer

Why do counterfeit goods keep appearing in Playa de Palma?

The trade keeps returning because Playa de Palma has high tourist numbers, easy entry for sellers and strong profit margins on knock-offs. Supply chains are often hard to trace, which makes enforcement difficult. Regular inspections can reduce the problem, but they do not remove the economic incentives behind it.
