Malaysian police seized 127 items bearing suspected counterfeit Adidas, Coach and Tory Burch trade marks, alongside more than 9,000 suspected unregistered health and cosmetic products, in a raid on a courier and logistics company’s premises in Kuala Lumpur on 26 October, Bernama and Kosmo reported. The operation, named Op Taring Dosej, was led by the Wildlife Crime Bureau/Special Investigation Intelligence (WCB/PSK) unit of Bukit Aman’s Internal Security and Public Order Department, working with the Health Ministry’s Pharmacy Enforcement Division and the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN).

WCB/PSK commander Datuk Mohd Zaki Ashar said the premises was suspected of being used as a storage and distribution hub for health products, cosmetics and branded goods believed not to comply with legal requirements. In all, 9,257 units worth RM765,750 were seized. The branded goods, valued at RM31,750, were seized by KPDN and are being investigated under section 102 of the Trademarks Act 2019. The health and cosmetic products, estimated at RM734,000, are being handled by the Health Ministry under the Control of Drugs and Cosmetics Regulations 1984. Two foreign men aged 23 and 29, believed to work as packers there, were detained on suspicion of immigration offences. [1], [2]

The counterfeits were a small part of the haul, but the case shows where they turned up: at one distribution point with other illegal goods, found by a police unit whose work this year has covered contraband smuggling, leakage of controlled and subsidised goods, wildlife trafficking and e-waste. The unit says it has carried out 286 raids and arrested 467 people nationwide since 1 January. The reports do not say who ran the hub, whether the goods had the same owners or whether anyone has been charged. A charge, or a police statement linking the two sets of goods, would answer that.
