Rotam Seizes 600 Bottles of Counterfeit Whiskey in Goiânia

An operation by the Metropolitan Tactical Patrol Unit (Rotam) led to the seizure of approximately 600 bottles of counterfeit whiskey in the Real Conquista neighborhood of Goiânia. According to the Goiás Military Police (PMGO), officers arrived at the scene after stopping a suspicious vehicle, in which they found bottles of the liquor and loose labels.

The investigation led the team to a residence that, according to the PMGO, was being used to manufacture counterfeit beverages. At the property, the officers seized full and empty bottles, as well as stamps, seals, and labels used in the illegal production.

One individual was taken into custody, and the estimated loss resulting from the criminal activity is R$50,000, according to the police department. The PMGO warns that beverages of unknown origin may pose health risks. The recommendation is to verify the origin of the products and be wary of prices that are significantly lower than market rates.
