COUNTERFEITERS OF BRITISH ONE POUND COINS ARRESTED
David Sundman forwarded this article from The Times about the arrest of two men implicated in the massive counterfeiting of British one pound coins.
-Editor
Two men were arrested yesterday as part of an international investigation into the counterfeiting conspiracy that forced the withdrawal of the £1 coin. Dutch authorities said that one man, aged 63, was detained in Holland and another, aged 58, in Belgium on suspicion of transporting millions of fake £1 coins. The arrests are linked to that of Patrick Onel, who is suspected of making 30 million high-quality forged coins since 2006 — two-thirds of the total number of fakes in circulation.
