GA attorney general to crack down on counterfeiters

Georgia attorney general Thurbert Baker says he is targeting counterfeit operations in the state. Baker yesterday told officials with the Georgia and U.S. Chambers of Commerce that he’s assigned a senior assistant attorney general to work with local prosecutors and law enforcement.

A recent U.S. Chamber of Commerce poll revealed almost 20-percent of people in the metro Atlanta region bought counterfeit items knowingly. Around 40-percent of adults younger than the age of 25 years old did so.
