Thailand aids huge fake-goods seizure
Thai authorities cooperated with more than a half-dozen Asian and European countries in an operation that resulted in the seizure of more than 1.2 million forged goods and 130 million cigarettes over two weeks, the European Commission announced Monday.
The items, including fashion accessories, perfumes, toys, car parts and electrical items, were found during checks carried out on hundreds of containers arriving in Europe by sea.
The operation, coordinated by the EU’s anti-fraud bureau OLAF, also involved Thailand, China, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, and Russia, among others.
