Stolen luxury goods from France protests resurface on Vinted and eBay

ilfattoquotidiano.it (Italian) —

Looted luxury goods from the October 17 protests in France are appearing for sale on Vinted and eBay, prompting the French government to summon platform representatives for urgent talks. Items include cosmetics at 10 euros, clothing with anti-theft tags still attached, and listings explicitly labeled "stolen during the protests." The government expects platforms to remove listings and cooperate with authorities to prosecute resellers of stolen goods. The riots caused an estimated 1.2 billion euros in insured losses, damaging nearly 3,000 businesses. French Digital Minister Anne Le Henanff has demanded immediate action from Vinted, Amazon, eBay, Leboncoin, Meta, and TikTok.
