The World'S Largest Transnational Fake LV Case Has Broken Down, Involving Nearly 1 Billion 800 Million.

　　 More than 200 square meters of houses were stacked with goods, windows closed tightly, and the smell of the house was strong. More than ten small skilled workers are skilled in tailoring, sewing, embossing, gluing, labeling and packaging. In a village in Guangdong, a large number of fake luxury goods and clothing bags were transported to Dubai 5800 kilometers away. They were placed in exquisite containers as a genuine discount sale, and the price was doubled. The Chinese police and the United Arab Emirates police launched a simultaneous network operation, which eventually destroyed the criminal network of transnational manufacturing and selling counterfeit luxury clothing bags, which involved nearly 1 billion 800 million yuan.

False and false declaration

All infringing goods are shipped overseas.

In May this year, according to the report, the Public Security Bureau of Shanghai city found that a criminal gang selling counterfeit brand clothes and bags was found, and all infringing goods were shipped overseas. The Ministry of public security's food and Drug Crime Investigation Bureau has unified command, and the public security organs of Shanghai and Guangdong have worked closely together with the assistance of Ali anti counterfeiting special forces to quickly lock down production dens in Guangdong and find out the criminal network inside China.

In order to completely wipe out the transnational crime network, the Ministry of public security decided to notify the UAE police. After the Sino Arab joint investigation, the internal structure of the gang gradually became clear. These expatriates in Dubai to solicit distributors for orders, and set up trade companies in Guangzhou, Guangdong as the cover, hired Lin Mouhua and others to do business in our country, entrusted the owner of a domestic factory, Zhan Zhou and others to produce fake international brand clothing bags in Guangzhou and other places in Guangzhou, including Louis Weedon, Hermes, Chanel, etc., and handed them to the Dubai by air freight and shipping channels by means of "false declaration", "true and false mixed".

The behind the scenes bosses in the UAE have organized distributors after receiving the goods, selling them locally or via the Internet in the name of genuine promotions, and some of the counterfeit goods are transferred to Europe and the United States. Some individual counterfeit limited edition luxury goods and suitcases are sold at a single price of up to tens of thousands of dollars.

Up to now, 37 suspects have been arrested in the territory of China, and more than 7000 pieces of international well-known brand clothing bags have been seized. Dubai police in the United Arab Emirates have sold 10 hideout dens, arrested 20 suspects, and seized more than 2.1 pieces of infringing merchandise, involving about 1 billion 789 million yuan. Some of the infringing goods seized abroad were originated from domestic counterfeiting dens.

Handmade false and true

Distribution chain radiation in the Middle East

The police found that, from the end of last year, Jimi Zhou, the behind the curtain owner of the fake dens, had dedicated the production of fake Louis Weedon bags for the companies involved. For this reason, he hired the "foreman" Wang Jia and more than 20 experienced laborers.

"In order to be realistic, the manufacture of counterfeit dens is purely hand-made, and each worker is responsible for some pieces, some of which are glued or embossed." Shanghai City Public Security Bureau of food and drug environmental crime investigation team leader Dai Li said: "they only recruit skilled laborer, in order to evade the blow, all the small workers are cash settled."

The fake brand bags seized at the scene involve many international famous brands. There are even crocodile skins in large quantities of fake leather. In order to achieve the "limited" characteristics of luxury goods, there are only a dozen samples of counterfeit goods produced in this small workshop, and all certificates, invoices and POS machines should be single.

According to the police, the criminal gang is mainly overseas and has a strong concealment. The number of overseas distributors is more than 200 in the Middle East. The place where the goods are produced and supplied within the territory shall be established through the establishment of a legitimate company within the territory and not from the "raw guests" business.

In view of these characteristics, during the process of investigation, China and Arab police deeply cooperate, fully exchange intelligence clues and evidence information, and jointly agree on joint action plan. In July 30, 2019, the Chinese and Arab police launched an arrest operation, destroying all the dens involved and destroying the transnational criminal network thoroughly.

Strong demand and strong secrecy

Transnational fraud needs strengthening international cooperation

In July 25th, the Ministry of public security deployed the national public security organs to carry out the "Kunlun" action to concentrate on the fight against food and drug ring crimes. Cracking down on infringement of intellectual property rights and counterfeiting and shoddy crimes is one of the "Kunlun 3" operations. The food and Drug Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security launched an offensive against the crime of counterfeiting and shoddy. In 3 months, the "Kunlun 3" operation cracked 2668 cases, knocked down 2043 counterfeit dens, and arrested 6197 suspects, worth about 6 billion 980 million yuan.

Louis Weedon, director of criminal protection and execution of intellectual property in Greater China, told reporters that at present, counterfeit luxury goods still have a large market. "With the progress of imitation technology, Gao Fangpin can achieve the effect of being fake, and it is more and more difficult to distinguish. Some counterfeit goods are hard to see by experts in the industry."

Ms. Tan believes that parties to govern such problems can not fight alone. "From the terminal, consumers are advised to buy through the brand regular channels. The current trend of counterfeiting and selling is transnational, and countries need to strengthen cooperation. The obligee should also actively cooperate to give full play to the role of bridge and link.

"In the detection of this case, we established a direct cooperation channel with the Chinese police, through exchanging information and intelligence, to crack down on the crime of counterfeiting and selling fake goods. We look forward to the future and the Chinese police to establish a more flexible cooperation mechanism to better prevent the occurrence of such counterfeiting and selling. Salim, director of anti fraud and piracy section of Dubai police headquarters, said.
