Around 70 thousand pirated CDs and DVDs were seized early on Monday (28), in Curitiba. The operation, carried out by officers of the 1st District Police (DP) and the Center for Special Police Operations (COPE), oversaw 27 stores located in the city center.
Two computers, used to reproduce materials, were also taken by officers. Among the contents were seized several games to video games, computer software, as well as CDs and DVDs of movies and music albums. During the action, no one was arrested, but police arrested 26 employees who were at points of sale of products. All were questioned and released.

The investigation to find the stores with counterfeit products was carried out for two months. According to the superintendent of the 1st DP, Adolfo Rosevics, members of the Association Anti-Piracy Film and Music (APCM) denounced the illegal trade points. In total, seven mini-malls were monitored in the streets XV de Novembro, José Loureiro, Riachuelo and Des. Westphalen.

The owners of the sites were not found during the operation. They should be indicted for the crime of copyright infringement, which may lead to the arrest of those responsible for 2 to 4 years. "You can not say that they are not guilty. Everything was exposed in the open, "said Rosevics. Also according to the superintendent, the materials probably come from Paraguay or are produced by the owners of the stores.

All cargo of pirated products will be sent to the Institute of Criminology, where there will be a technical expertise, and then be delivered to the APCM.
