Challenge
A network of counterfeiters was operating across China, UAE, and Germany, using Instagram and WhatsApp to direct buyers to storefronts. Traditional platform takedowns had a 48-hour re-listing window.
Approach
Investigator-led undercover purchase, logistics chain mapping through customs data, coordinated takedown across 22 platforms simultaneously, and criminal referral package prepared for three jurisdictions.
Outcome
Criminal referral accepted in two jurisdictions. The ring's primary operator received a trading-in-counterfeit goods conviction. Follow-on civil action for damages filed.
