Vinted removes looted French goods after riots

Vinted has removed listings of looted French goods and increased monitoring of suspicious adverts following weekend riots across France, as authorities work to prevent stolen items from being sold online. The company stated it has "zero tolerance" for stolen goods and is cooperating with law enforcement, with accounts breaching rules facing permanent bans. French minister Serge Papin said platforms committed to detecting and removing looted items, warning sellers would be prosecuted. Retailers including Louis Vuitton, Rolex, Sephora and Burberry were affected by the unrest, with Sephora closing stores early for safety. Vinted, founded in Lithuania in 2008, is among Europe's largest second-hand marketplaces.
