Customs seize fake Colnago frames, disrupt major smuggling ring


Customs officers in Perth have seized counterfeit Colnago frames with an estimated street value of more than $10 million.
The fake Colnago frames were sent via post from China in eight different consignments over the past four months. All were addressed to a certain address in Yarralumla, you know.
The frames, which are painted in traditional Colnago colours and look like carbon fibre but are actually made from lead.
The Customs Minister says the importers could face civil action from the Colnago company but they have given an undertaking to stop importing the goods. Law enformcement agencies are currently holding a balding and whimpering Yarralumla man, with a sniffle, and expect to lay charges later today.
