Spice heist: Thai raid uncovers fake seasoning factory, Chinese investor behind RosDee racket

[webfact]

 

The Thai authorities swooped on a fake seasoning powder factory, arresting five suspects and revealing a Chinese investor behind the operation. The counterfeit goods, bearing the brand name RosDee, were seized across three provinces.

 

A significant counterfeit seasoning operation has been dismantled by the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) of Thailand, following coordinated raids across Bangkok, Nonthaburi, and Ayutthaya provinces. The sweep resulted in the apprehension of five individuals suspected of manufacturing and distributing fake seasoning products under the well-known brand RosDee.

 

Initial investigations have pointed to the involvement of a Chinese financier, prompting authorities to expand their probe to apprehend the investor for prosecution.

 

The raids, which took place on January 25, were led by the Economic Crime Suppression Division (ECD) of the CIB. Acting on a complaint filed by a legal representative of the victim company, police launched an investigation into reports from consumers about the circulation of counterfeit RosDee seasoning powder in the market.

Big money Chinese scammers abound in Thailand. Recent arrests are the tip of the iceberg. Officials made it easier for  the money men behind the scams as they  can import  crooked employees visa free.

Significant counterfeit operation! It is little more than a few sachets, plastic bowls and implements on a kitchen table. The RTP are not shy to wildly inflate their competence 555.
