Today’s pirates operate like multinational corporations, running factories filled with high-end equipment to produce counterfeit consumer and business products. These criminal networks threaten economies, brand integrity, and even public safety. Yet, despite the challenges, our partners have achieved remarkable success in some of the world’s most notorious counterfeiting hotspots, places many considered too dangerous or impossible to penetrate.
Among our key victories: dismantling international organized crime groups spanning multiple continents. Our work has been so impactful that the U.S. government has enlisted our principals to brief foreign officials on anti-counterfeiting strategies and training.
Our founding director, Jorge Foch, has helped lead a multi-national effort against organized piracy for a global industry trade group. He authored a 500-page policy manual for investigating pirate operations and has trained prosecutors and police across Latin America, including Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Mexico. His expertise has even led to convictions in Asia, where prosecutors used our findings to take down major crime figures.
One of our most high-profile cases exposed an international criminal syndicate with ties to terrorist organizations, shutting down their operations entirely. In the U.S., our principals have served as expert witnesses and instructors for federal agents in complex racketeering and money laundering cases.
While this is just one success story, it highlights the ongoing need for specialized anti-counterfeiting efforts. From intellectual property enforcement to cybercrime investigations, countless opportunities exist to disrupt criminal enterprises worldwide.
Counterfeiting is a global threat, but so are the solutions. Could your organization benefit from expert insights? The right strategy can make all the difference.
