Two admit selling fake items
Two Senegalese men have been condemned to a suspended jail term of six months after a court convicted them of selling counterfeit sunglasses, wallets, belts and watches at Armier Bay last Tuesday.
Djily Gueye, 27 and Bassirou Ndiaye, 26, who live in Barcelona, admitted to selling the fake items.
The court condemned them to a jail term suspended for a year. Magistrate Antonio Micallef Trigona warned the two men that the jail term would become effective if they committed another crime anywhere in the EU.

And what about the buyers, they know that they are buying counterfeit items, and there will be never an end to this as people don't care as long as they have a name on their sunglasses etcc.....The same goes for dvd's and music cd's, software!!! People buy it as it's cheaper so it's a circle!!!

agree 100% I find is appalling that some DVD rental shops give out copied discs quite openly, and on markets there are stalls selling counterfeit DVDs and CDs but no one seems to care.
