Fake goods 'linked to serious crime'
––––––––––
Bryan Lewin, of Trading Standards Institute, says counterfeiting is seen
by crime gangs as an easy way to launder money, which is then redirected
into other criminal enterprises.
"Some of these groups are involved in some pretty awful other types of
crime, such as people trafficking, drugs and in some cases terrorism," he
told BBC News Online.

LONDON, Consumers are being warned that the innocent purchases of
counterfeit products from Internet sites and markets are funding terrorist
and criminal organizations, including Al–Qaeda, the Mafia and the IRA. The
sale of these fake goods, ranging from "designer" clothes to power tools
to pharmaceutical products are directly linked to international terrorism
and organized crime, according to Carratu International PLC, a leading
investigator of intellectual property abuse.
.....
Extensive enquiries by Carratu International have unearthed links between
counterfeiting and Al–Qaeda, Hizbollah, the IRA, ETA, the Mafia, Chinese
Triad gangs, the Japanese Yakuza crime syndicate, the Russian Mafia and
drug cartels. Indeed, the recovery of Al–Qaeda training manuals had shown
that the organization recommends the sale of counterfeit products to raise
funds.

In 2000 the Global Anti–Counterfeiting Group (GACG) reported that
counterfeiting of all goods costs UK companies between £4 billion and
£6.6 billion per year, across the EU the figure is between £28 and £40
billion and worldwide, the cost is a staggering $200 to $400 billion per
year.
Unfortunately, it is often treated by both the public and the authorities
as a victimless crime. Nothing could be further from the truth –
Counterfeits are linked to drugs, guns, vice and international terrorism.
It is well reported that the high–level players who controlled a
counterfeit T–shirt ring were using the proceeds to support terrorist
groups such as the one that bombed the World Trade Centre in 1993. There
are numerous other examples of such links.

Terrorism:
......
It is becoming increasingly obvious that there are criminal organisations,
including terrorists, that use counterfeit goods to finance their
activities.
