Case Study: WRi achieves a major counterfeit seizure with Corsearch

Intelligence-led Offline Operation with WRi

WRi, an offline investigator specializing in anti-counterfeiting, collaborated with Corsearch on a brand protection initiative to tackle a network of infringers. The challenge was to uncover and act against a larger criminal operation behind the sale of counterfeit goods.

Using its brand protection technology, Corsearch implemented an intelligence-led approach that connected online listings and seller accounts to physical offline premises. This allowed Corsearch to identify a key UK-based importer and a Hong Kong-based supplier, supporting a raid with local authorities. The operation resulted in the seizure of 9,000 counterfeit and dangerous items and triggered a further investigation into the wider criminal network.
