Event: Autodata - Counterfeit Software

About the event

Autodata Limited has again been involved in the apprehension of a counterfeit software seller. In partnership with Autodata’s primary Trading Standards Authority, Slough Borough Council, and with the combined assistance of both Monmouthshire and Southampton Trading Standards, and Southampton Police, a carefully planned operation was carried out resulting in the arrest of a prolific counterfeit software seller.

For some months the suspect had been touring the UK travelling over 20,000 miles in multiple hire cars selling quantities of counterfeit vehicle repair software. The smoothly executed swoop saw the illegal seller cautioned and arrested, bringing about a satisfactory conclusion after several months of intense investigation by the seizure team.

This event will give important information on how to recognise and deal with counterfeit software.
