Counterfeiters obviously replaced information marked on the original holograms with another, intellectual property chief inspector Yuri Kuchinskiy told. Law enforcement also is to establish where original holograms and printed wrappings came from. However it is possible to say they succeeded in liquidating at least one unit of the criminal interregional organization.
The quality of counterfeit production was doubtful, fakes could be told from originals by such features:
1. Text on the cover provided with tapes was only in English.
2. There was no manufacturer marked on the cover.
3. Appearance of tapes and compact disks was unattractive.
Prices for these goods were official (equal to prices for original license copies) so that fakes would not arouse any suspicion. Compact disks reportedly delivered from Kiev were sold triple the price.
