In La Chorrera, the authorities hit the nail on the head: 127 bales of sneakers and 'kikirikí' flip-flops were intercepted before they could reach Chiriquí. The merchandise was hidden in trucks under sacks of rice husks, trying to go unnoticed and evade controls. But the plan backfired. The counterfeit market is valued at approximately $400,000, and all evidence is now in the hands of judicial authorities to begin the investigation and bring those responsible to justice.
