00:00:00 - 00:00:00

In the YouTube video "Pirataria: Brasil perde quase R$ 500 bilhões com o comércio ilegal de produtos e serviços," the speaker highlights the substantial financial losses Brazil experiences due to the illegal trade of goods and services. The illegal activities, including contraband, piracy, tax evasion, and energy theft, resulted in approximately 453 billion reais in losses in 2022. This loss encompassed 136 billion reais in unpaid taxes and nearly 300 billion reais in illegally traded goods across 16 economic sectors. The consequences of this illegal activity go beyond economic losses, affecting security and health for the population. The growth of electronic commerce has fueled the issue, with clandestine factories producing counterfeit goods in various sectors such as alcoholic beverages, electronics, and clothing. The illegal trade also finances organized crime, posing a threat to society. Some of the most affected sectors include alcoholic beverages, with 22 clandestine factories shut down, and energy theft, which incurs additional societal costs. If legal trade had generated formal employment opportunities instead, Brazil could have created nearly 370,000 new jobs in 2022. The speaker also emphasizes the connection between organized crime and the illegal trade of cigarettes, beverages, automotive parts, and electronics.
