French Looters' Vinted Listings Become Evidence for Police

French rioters who looted shops during Saturday's cost-of-living protest are now selling stolen goods on Vinted, but their listings have become self-incriminating evidence. The platform is cooperating with police to identify the suspects. Bloomberg reported a surge of suspicious listings on Vinted following the looting of 1,500 to 3,000 stores. Sellers must provide bank details, photos, and usernames, effectively creating ready-made complaints against themselves. The French government met with Vinted to demand removal of listings and seller identification. The platform now holds a comprehensive database of weekend rioters, with implications for Belgium.
