Police officers confiscated seven computer screens, five computers, one notebook, various printers, documents substantiating the piracy, sales receipts and approximately 10,400 illegal copies in the raid.
According to the International Anti-Counterfeiting Coalition if the counterfeit economy were a business, it would be the world’s biggest. A report by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development indicates that up to 200 billion U.S. Dollars of international trade could have been in counterfeit and pirated goods per year.
