The real version of "Palace Jade Liquor"?

In early May this year, the Economic Investigation Detachment of the Qingpu Branch of the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau discovered during its daily inspections that some people were peddling counterfeit brand foreign liquor and selling it to bars and KTVs in various places.

After several months of investigation, the police of the task force successfully locked down the suspect Xu who sold fake wine to bars and KTVs. Further investigation by the police found that Xu was only a terminal salesperson, and the liquor he sold was purchased from other sellers. In order to further investigate and completely dismantle the criminal chain of manufacturing and selling counterfeit wine, the police of the special case group continued to conduct an in-depth investigation around the suspect Xu.

The police found that most of the fake liquor purchased by Xu was shipped from two addresses, and the police conducted two simultaneous tracking and investigation and evidence collection of the two delivery places, and quickly found out the two criminal dens entrenched in the suburbs of Shanghai, and found out the criminal facts, division of labor and activities of the gang that produced and sold counterfeit brand foreign wine. In early September, with the support of the Food and Drug Environmental Investigation Corps of the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau and other relevant departments, the Economic Investigation Detachment and the police forces of multiple departments arrested a total of 39 criminal suspects, and seized a large number of unfilled cheap liquor and well-known brand empty wine bottles in the counterfeiting den.

After investigation, one of the fake dimples was actually operated by Weng, Huang and Zhu. Weng and Huang met at work, and in March 2023, during the chat, Huang learned that Weng had a channel to sell his own brand of fake wine, and the profit was very high, so the two hit it off and began to cooperate in the production and sale of fake wine.

At the beginning, in order to avoid being discovered by the public security organs, Huang calculated that he would not directly participate in the counterfeiting process, so he found his former colleague Zhu and persuaded Zhu and his wife to use filling machines and sealing machines to make fake wine in their homestead, and then agreed with Zhu and his wife that the profits would be distributed proportionally. Later, Huang thought that he made too little money, so he took his father to participate in the production of fake wine.

The finished wine will be packaged with 6 bottles or 12 bottles per box according to different brands, and sold to Xu at a price of 400-600 yuan per box. Xu had been engaged in alcohol sales, so he was more familiar with the doorway, and promoted and sold fake wine through the original sales channels and door-to-door contact with the person in charge of the new bars and KTVs. Up to now, the total amount involved in Weng's gang has exceeded 5 million yuan, and the illegal profit has exceeded 2 million yuan.

Since 2021, the criminal suspect Li has purchased filling machines and packaging machines, and rented a warehouse in Pudong as a den for making fake wine. Li is mainly responsible for door-to-door sales of fake wine, and Zhang Moumou and three other people in the gang are responsible for filling, packaging, and delivery. In addition to selling fake wine to Xu, the gang also sold the fake wine directly to bars and KTVs around the counterfeiting dens. Up to now, the total amount involved in the gang has exceeded 10 million yuan, and the illegal profit has exceeded 5 million yuan.

As the relevant persons in charge of bars and KTVs, 29 people, including Wang, Li, and Qiao, continued to buy these low-priced liquors and sold them to consumers at the price of genuine liquor for the purpose of making profits and making money.

The police will crack down on such illegal and criminal acts, earnestly safeguard the safety of the people, and create a good business environment. The public should also buy products from regular sales channels in their daily lives, and must be vigilant against products far below the market price, keeping in mind that "there is no free lunch in the world"! If you buy counterfeit brand products, please report them to the relevant departments in time to safeguard your legitimate rights and interests.
