Police in Naples launched an anti-piracy raid on a premises in in the suburb of Arzano, which turned up approximately 150,000 pirate discs, including music and movies. Police seized the counterfeit material, and also seized 276 CD burners and arrested the 25 year old male suspect. Police had been watching the location of the raid since Christmas.
The operation was carried out during the week of the main Italian music TV show Festival of Sanremo. More anti-piracy raids around the world recently also turned up huge numbers of counterfeit CDs containing software, games, music and movies. As a fine example, 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 on February 9th.
