Vinted removes listings of possible looted goods during French riots: "We have zero tolerance for this"

Vinted has announced enhanced monitoring and removal of listings linked to goods looted during riots across French cities, stating it has "zero tolerance" for selling stolen items and may permanently ban involved accounts. The platform is cooperating with French authorities. The riots, sparked by protests over cost of living and education, affected over 2,000 businesses, causing hundreds of millions in damages, with around 2,400 arrests and nearly 1,000 injured officers. Vinted is adapting procedures to detect abuse, while eBay is also investigating suspicious listings. Luxury stores in Paris, including Dior and Louis Vuitton, were damaged, and official club shops in Marseille and Lille were looted or closed. The violence has raised suspicions that stolen goods are being rapidly resold online.
