EU: PROSECUTORS DISCUSS RISING THREAT TO CITIZENS OF INCREASED USE OF CHEAP FAKE CAR PARTS
On 16 November, a news release from Eurojust advised that a meeting of prosecutors and law enforcement officials had met to discuss the increasing use of fake car parts which poses a growing security risk for road-users, leading to deadly accidents and serious bodily harm. The production of counterfeit parts is a rising criminal phenomenon with high profit margins. Among perpetrators, the production of fake parts is often seen as a ‘victimless’ and so-called high-profit/low-risk crime, and penalties across the EU remain relatively low.
