What is the ruling on working to track and seize counterfeit and forged goods in cooperation with security agencies, and what is the ruling on impersonating a merchant and lying to reach those involved in this trade, and is there any doubt or burden of sin in that?

Importing and selling counterfeit medicines that harm people's health is a grave crime that may lead to the killing of souls. It is considered deceit and unlawful consumption of people's wealth. Selling goods with specifications that contradict their true nature is a lie and deceit. Working to combat these crimes is honorable, and its doer will be rewarded. Lying to obtain information regarding these crimes is permissible if it is the only way to do so. There is no blame upon whoever caused the dismissal of the pharmacist involved in importing counterfeit medicines.
