We have often heard, said and wrote that counterfeiting is a rapidly growing and expanding criminal phenomenon. This perception, together with the recognition that counterfeiting is a crime often an organized crime, is finally moving ahead within the international community and whoever participated to one of the yearly Global Congresses to Combat Counterfeiting and Piracy may witness how these themes are present in every declaration or presentation.

This website wants to contribute to this spread of awareness.

What we want to do is to show the complexity of the phenomenon and its criminal and deadly implications.
We want to provide information that is as easier accessible as possible with the ultimate aim of being a resource for those who want to know more about counterfeiting, or just to move the first steps into this complex reality.
Several cases, news, reports available here are from other websites, providing that these data are public.

Our purpose is:

to guide you through the more hidden reality of counterfeiting;
to reach the public to show the true nature of counterfeiting;
to demonstrate how deeply organized crime is involved in it;
to make you think about how much profit it is gaining;
to bring to your attention how many lives and injuries this crime is claiming each year;
in a few words, to show you that counterfeiting is never a good bargain!
