Pordenone, January 22 - A cloned Prada website was allegedly selling counterfeit merchandise online, police said on Friday. Police said the site originated in China and passed through France, the Netherlands and England, and that it had a "very accurate graphic design" made to look exactly like the Italian brand's actual website. Despite attention to the slightest details made to fool buyers into thinking they were shopping at the real Prada website - the same retail prices, use of the usual major payment systems - the payments were credited to an account in Guangdong, China, and the merchandise was sent from Hong Kong, requiring buyers to pay customs charges to have the packages released, police said. Investigators brought in inspectors from Prada itself to ascertain that the merchandise was indeed counterfeit.
