Fake viagra among $6.5 million worth of knock-offs seized by Toronto police in international counterfeiting probe
An international counterfeiting probe into businesses across southern Ontario and the GTA has resulted in 21 arrests and the seizure of thousands of knock-off products worth over $6.5-million, Toronto police confirmed Friday. Imitation designer Burberry products, ice wines, MAC Cosmetics, designer clothing and jewelry and electronics, even Viagra and fake TTC tokens, were allegedly smuggled over the U.S. border. The items were seized from 13 locations in Southern Ontario, several of them in Ontario, that police allege are manufacturing and profiting from the illegal activity. Police said the fake products have put the public at risk, because they pose health and safety hazards. Profits from counterfeit sales are also sometimes used to fund terrorism, warned police. Charges against the accused include fraud, possession for the purpose of trafficking in stolen goods and possession of property obtained by crime.
