Interpol’s Michael Ellis: How counterfeiting is affecting all walks of life

Fake alcohol caused the deaths of more than 40 people in the Czech Republic through methanol poisoning. When police raided the operation, they found materials that could have killed potentially thousands, and many more could have been seriously injured.
