U.K. Print Business was Front for Multimillion Pound Counterfeiting Gang

Intelligence gathered by Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) officers led to the Browns’ business on Portland Road, South Norwood, London, and covert surveillance established that it was a front for buying materials needed to produce counterfeit currency.

These included a toner foiling machine and rolls of foil, which, along with a computer containing images of scanned notes, were seized from Altinfincan’s home address after the three were arrested by City of London Police officers. The contents of a shredder were retrieved from Phillip Brown’s home, and analysis of the shredded material revealed counterfeit notes printed on the back of a poster. A memory stick containing images of scanned notes in a print-friendly layout was also discovered.
