👉 Counterfeiters are individuals or groups who intentionally make copies of goods without the permission of their original owners, often to sell them at a lower price. They may also use this practice to avoid paying taxes on imported goods. This type of behavior is illegal and can lead to legal consequences such as fines, imprisonment, or even criminal charges. Counterfeiters are often associated with organized crime groups, particularly in countries where they operate under the guise of legitimate businesses.
