Deputy Prosecutor General called for a crackdown on manufacturers and retailers of counterfeit merchandise, as on those who provide floor spaces, equipment or other support for pirates.

Counterfeit goods account for 35 to 90 percent of turnover in certain market segments, but the most troubling are food and medicine.
