Looted Sephora and Chanel goods resurface on Vinted and Leboncoin after French riots

Following weekend riots in France that damaged over 3,000 stores, authorities suspect looted goods, including Sephora and Chanel products, are being resold on platforms like Vinted and Leboncoin. Digital Minister Anne Le Hénanff demanded the immediate removal of such listings. Vinted said it applies "zero tolerance" and has removed suspicious ads, while eBay and Leboncoin reported no confirmed spike in listings. Six platforms, including Amazon and TikTok, are meeting with government officials to address the issue. Politicians Jordan Bardella and Gabriel Attal called for stronger state-platform cooperation to identify sellers of stolen goods, with Attal suggesting geolocation of stolen electronics could aid enforcement.
