Earlier this May, a factory in the southern Chinese city of Dongguan was raided after they were found to be making and shipping out cans of counterfeit Budweiser. Since then, clips of just what exactly the hell they were doing in this filthy factory have gone viral, and it will truly make your stomach churn (that is, if you’ve recently had a counterfeit Bud in China. The rest of you can remain undisturbed). READ MORE>>>

The menace of counterfeit products continues to prey on consumer confidence and the brand value of Dubai. Taking advantage of superior value of original labels and products, imitation goods such as luxury clothing, accessories, phones, cosmetics and vehicle parts are among the counterfeit items sold in the open market. A crackdown by Dubai Police has resulted in the seizure of counterfeit versions of branded products including women’s bags, belts and expensive watches worth Dh114.5 million in the first quarter of 2017. Authorities have handled as many as 71 cases this year relating to fake goods, and arrested 77 people suspected of peddling a range of fake labels — from cheap construction tools to fake currency notes. Over the years, Dubai has been at the forefront of the fight against counterfeit products. Several campaigns highlighting the dangers of buying fake electronic accessories, cosmetics, vehicle parts among other items have been undertaken from time to time. READ MORE>>>

Courtesy of Ohio Public Safety. In January, agents with the Ohio Investigative Unit seized counterfeit NBA, NFL, The North Face and Michael Kors items worth $3,000 during a search warrant at a Cincinnati convenience store. The store owners made a deal and have agreed to cease business operations. These cases are not uncommon. OIU agents recently found more than $1,000 in counterfeit The North Face items in a drive through in Columbus. Last year, the same owner was charged by Columbus Police for selling counterfeit items. YOU know fake food is lucrative when the mobsters ditch drugs and weapons to traffic it. Consider this: PricewaterhouseCoopers estimates food fraud is worth $52 billion globally each year. The illegal trade in firearms is worth an estimated $8.5 billion a year and heroin $30 billion. No wonder food fraud is now among the high rollers of crime. READ MORE>>>

Pharma serialization snapshot: Saudi Arabia

By Phil Taylor, May 15, 2017, Securing Industry

About the market: Saudi Arabia’s pharmaceutical market is one of the largest in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, and is set for dramatic growth thanks to a massive investment programme by the government which will spend $18.5bn over the next 10 years to boost domestic manufacturing infrastructure. The market was worth around $7.5bn in 2015 – so still relatively small on the global stage – but BMI Research predicts it will reach $9.3bn by 2021 thanks to rising wealth levels among the 32 million-strong population and increasing rates of chronic diseases. The growth of the market will however be affected by oil prices, the primary source of healthcare funding. READ MORE>>>

Counterfeit, smuggled cigarettes thriving in India

By Siddharth Tiwari, May 7, 2017, Sunday Guardian Live- India

The illicit market in smuggled and counterfeit cigarettes is thriving in India, so much so that industry reports have claimed that the consumption of such cigarettes increased by 90% last year. Several studies conducted by the industry and frequent seizures at sea ports and airports have revealed that 17 billion cigarette sticks are smuggled into India each year. These much cheaper, smuggled and contraband cigarettes, which according to a FICCI study have doubled in the past one decade, cost a huge revenue loss to the national exchequer every year (over Rs 9,000 crore in 2015), apart from undermining the government’s campaign against smoking by making cigarettes increasingly expensive.
