The 7400 pairs of counterfeit sneakers recently seized by the RCMP in Montreal and Sainte-Catherine-de-la-Jacques-Cartier, were exclusively for Club Shoes stores.
At least that has informed the Group Bianco Nero, with nearly a dozen stores under the banner Shoes Club in Quebec.
In the Quebec region, we find one of these shops at Place Fleur de Lys and another on the streets of the Marais. Two more are on the South Shore, one in Saint-Romuald and the other in Lévis. Other branches are located in Sept-Iles, Jonquière, Chicoutimi, Alma, Mascouche, Saint-Jérôme, Laval, Saint-Hyacinthe and Saint-Bruno.
On Tuesday, RCMP investigators knocked on the doors of the Group's head office Bianco Nero, on Edward Street, Assh, Sainte-Catherine-de-la-Jacques-Cartier. The Federal Police had then seized some 4,000 pairs of counterfeit sneakers from designer brands such as Adidas, Alive, DC Shoes, Circa and Nike. It's like a search, a few weeks earlier, who had led the federal police to this location.
Bianco Nero Group has denied reports that counterfeit sneakers could be found on the shelves of its 29 stores that operate under the banner Bianco Nero.
The head office of the Banner Club Shoes puts the blame on one of its 259 suppliers, this being located in China, with whom he carried on business since last September.
