The World'S Largest Transnational Fake LV Case Is Broken: Overseas Orders Are Being Counterfeit And Transported To Dubai.

November 18th reported: more than 200 square meters of houses filled with goods, windows closed tightly, the smell of the house is pungent. 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.

　　 Environment Counterfeiting and false declaration -- counterfeit luxury goods illegally shipped to Dubai

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. Under the unified command of the food and Drug Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of public security, the public security organs of Shanghai and Guangdong worked closely together to quickly lock down production dens located 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 a cover, hired Lin Mouhua and others to do business in our country, entrusted the owner of a domestic factory, Zhan Zhou, etc. to produce fake international brand clothing bags in Guangzhou and other places in Guangzhou, including Louis Weedon (LOUISVUITTON), HERMES, Chanel (CHANEL), etc., and sent them to the Dubai through air and shipping channels by means of "false declaration", "true and false mixed mode", etc.

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.

In 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.

Up to now, 37 suspects have been arrested in the territory of China, and more than 7 pieces of clothing and bags of various international famous brands have been seized. Dubai police in the United Arab Emirates have sold 10 hideout dens in their territory, arrested 20 suspects, and seized more than 2.1 pieces of infringing merchandise, involving an amount of about 1 billion 789 million yuan. Some of the infringing goods seized abroad were originated from domestic counterfeiting dens.

　　 Handmade, true and false -- 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 parts, some glue and some embossing," Dai Li, inspector of the food and drug environmental crime investigation team of the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau, said. "They only recruit skilled laborers, and in order to evade the blow, all the small workers are paid in cash."

The fake brand luggage seized at the scene involves many famous international brands such as Louis Weedon, Hermes, Chanel and so on. 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.

　 Strong demand and strong secrecy -- international cooperation in anti counterfeiting needs to be strengthened

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 it is necessary for all countries to strengthen cooperation. The obligee should also actively cooperate to give full play to the role of bridge and link.

In order to launch a full chain attack on this transnational criminal group, China delayed the time of collecting the network, and voluntarily referred the UAE police to the United Arab Emirates police, sharing intelligence, clues and evidence information with the Arab police, and jointly agreed on the work plan of joint investigation and synchronous network collection, and finally thoroughly destroyed this huge transnational criminal group.

Du Yan, deputy director of the food and Drug Crime Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of public security, told reporters, "according to the case itself, we have enough evidence to support the attack on criminal gangs in China. If we delay the collection time, we will bring new workload and risk to the investigation and control work, but in order to carry out a chain strike against this transnational criminal group, we postponed the time for collecting the net and voluntarily informed the UAE police.

Salim, chief of the Dubai Police General's anti commercial fraud and piracy division, told reporters: "we highly appreciate the efforts made by the Chinese police. We launched a joint strike operation to arrest criminals for the first time. This fully demonstrates the firm determination of Chinese police to crack down on counterfeiting and selling, and attaches great importance to the protection of intellectual property rights and the desire to further develop bilateral cooperation."

As a whole chain of transnational fraud cases, the detection of this case highlights the positive effect of joint fraud and joint governance mode worldwide. Judging from the effect of the attack, it is also a classic case of public security organs carrying out international law enforcement cooperation in the field of intellectual property protection.

At the beginning of this year, the Ministry of public security of China integrated the duties of several business bureaus, set up a food and Drug Investigation Bureau, transferred all functions of the crime of infringing intellectual property rights and counterfeit and shoddy products to the new Department, further intensified the investigation and combating functions, and "zero tolerance" to crack down on infringement and counterfeiting crime and serve the national innovation and development strategy. In July 25th this year, the Ministry of public security deployed the national public security organs to carry out the "Kunlun" action, focusing 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 Ministry of public security's food and Drug Investigation Bureau has launched a fierce offensive against the crime of counterfeiting and shoddy crimes against the new situation and new characteristics of the current crimes of intellectual property rights. With the strongest determination, the most effective action and the strictest law enforcement, in the 3 month period, the "Kunlun 3" action cracked 2668 cases, destroyed 2043 counterfeit dens, and captured 6197 suspects, and the value involved was about RMB 6 billion 980 million yuan.
