These suspects were allegedly involved in more than 8,000 cases of intellectual property rights (IPR) violations that wrapped up from the time the campaign started in November last year to the end of March, according to figures revealed Tuesday by the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) at a news conference.

During the period, more than 7,000 production and sales outlets were destroyed, said Gao Feng, deputy director of the ministry's Economic Crime Investigation Department, adding that the ministry will focus on the supervision of 340 major cases to ensure thorough investigation and punishment of violators.
