Guatemalan National Police in co-ordination with the Attorney General's Office conducted a massive raid in downtown Guatemala City that turned up over one million counterfeit discs containing pirated music and movies. The major street operation took place on February 9th, and involved 560 officers in total.
The officers raided 80 points of sale in the "Avenida 6" market, seizing not just the one million counterfeit discs, but 45 CD/DVD burners, thousands of counterfeit inlay cards and audio and television equipment. "We congratulate the Guatemalan police officials for a job well done and look forward to more operations like this in the near future." Raul Vazquez, head of IFPI's Latin American regional office, said.
