.

US HSI at EL PASO, Texas released the following statement:

“The Super Bowl may be over, but HSI special agents continue to look for distributors of counterfeit merchandise in our community that put at risk the health and safety of the American public, rob American workers of jobs, and adversely impact the U.S. economy,” said Erik P. Breitzke, special agent in charge of HSI El Paso, as his officers recently seized more than 200 counterfeit sports-related items worth an estimated merchandise suggested retail price (MSRP) of $102,600.

“The protection of intellectual property rights is part of the CBP trade enforcement mission,” said CBP El Paso Director of Field Operations Hector Mancha.

“Those looking to purchase sports memorabilia should do so from legitimate vendors. Buying anywhere else supports criminal activity and will generally leave you with a poorly made inferior product.”
