'The items are funding a much wider picture that involves money laundering, organised crime and cheap labour' Ad ManCityCouncil

Buying a fake designer perfume or top might not actually be worth it despite what many consumers believe. The Strangeways area of Cheetham Hill has long been associated with the sale of fake goods.

It was discovered that several different businesses were selling fake goods in different units under one roof. They received closure orders from the Magistrates Court, to ensure they remain shut for a number of months. "The profits from counterfeit goods can be used to fund other serious crime too, and often that comes with violence which can have a devastating ripple effect on communities, as well as affecting legitimate and hard-working businesses. The sale of these goods puts money directly into the hands of criminals, which is completely unacceptable, and we remain committed to disrupting the supply of these goods so that we can, in turn, create safer communities for all.

Such people are extremely unlikely to declare their earnings to HM Customs. This lost revenue could be used to improve roads, healthcare services and schools, but it instead becomes dirty money in the hands of criminals. Counterfeit trade affects everyone The fake goods trade has a hugely negative effect on the creative industries in cities such as Manchester. This includes clothing stores and small boutiques that are selling genuine products.

How to help stop the sale of counterfeit items through Be Real Manchester Manchester is a major cultural centre and has a rich history of music, art and sport. It is recognised as one of the most creative regions outside of London, especially for TV, fashion and more.
