Tainan prosecutors bust counterfeit liquor ring

Earlier in the week, the prosecutors had detained Wang Kun-chuan and his brother Wang Min-tsung after seizing 70,000 bottles of fake liquor and red wine Sept. 5 and another 30,000 bottles of counterfeit products Sept. 13 from warehouses in Tainan and Taichung counties.

The fake liquor included whiskies carrying counterfeit labels of The Famous Grouse, The Macallan and Johnny Walker. Other seized products included fake French-made red wine and distilled spirits affixed with counterfeit well-known Chinese brand names.

The Tainan public prosecutors said they suspected a considerable amount of the fake products might have already entered the market and that they were trying to trace the potentially harmful products.
