Counterfeiting: a Global Spread a Global Threat

Counterfeiting is a rapidly expanding criminal activity which poses serious threats to consumers' health and safety. An undeniable link today exists between counterfeiting and criminal organizations, as demonstrated by the results of various criminal investigations.
This work presents the economic damages together with the social consequences created by the problem and highlights the dangers it creates.
Particular attention is given to certain kinds of counterfeit goods particularly "sensitive" for the consumers' health and safety while showing the interest of organized crime in managing this illicit activity.
