Customs director Miguel Coco says that the Customs Department (DGA) will not prosecute small business operators suspected of selling fake designer merchandise. As reported in El Dia, he said that DGA policy is "to go after the millions and then the pennies." He said their focus is on the freight containers, not small stores. He made his comments after a TV program revealed that the wife of a Customs deputy director, Luis Sanchez, was selling fake designer bags, perfumes and other products in her store. He defended his employee, saying that he has had an exemplary career. He said that the prosecution of those cases is the responsibility of the National Copyright Office, as well as Customs. Cocco was speaking after a ceremony during which he handed a compilation of Customs legislation to the Supreme Court president.
