It is not clear if the counterfeits — which included imitations of Marvel, Sanrío, Disney and Nintendo products — were part of the 262,000 product count, or were counted separately. Officials said it took seven hours to seize all the merchandise. But it was also clear that authorities had known for a long time what went on in the complex, which resembles a shopping center for wholesalers or bulk buyers.“They didn't have any labels,” Ebrard said of the products. “They were in violation of all the norms,” he said, adding that the haul included “a whole mountain of Disney products, all pirated.”
