The CABA Police and the City Public Prosecutor's Office raided and disrupted a gang that manufactured and trafficked false masks of the Atom-Protect (Conicet) brand. The operation required five raids and ended with eight detainees. According to judicial sources, it was a derivation of the operations that began in June, in which five other people who were in possession of 50,000 counterfeit masks were arrested. Also found were masks of the brands ION POSITIVO, KN-95, 3M and PROTECTIVE MASK that were falsified....
....One way to recognize, if the mask being sold as Atom-Protect is original, is by the quality of the fabric. It will feel more rigid due to the chemical processes to which it is subjected to obtain antiviral properties. Also the letters where the logo appears are sharper than in the fake ones. To avoid scams, the recommendation is to always buy them in recognized places or directly from the manufacturers.
