22 arrested for forging Tous jewellery

TWENTY-TWO people have been arrested throughout Spain for their involvement with a network which forged the ‘Tous’ brand jewellery.

More than 31,400 items, valued at more than €2 million have been seized, as well as the moulds and machinery used to make them.
The National Police investigation began following a complaint from the owners of the Tous intellectual property rights.
