It is possible that Ferrari's deal could be announced as early as its new car launch,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which takes place in Maranello on January 28.([link widoczny dla zalogowanych])
Organized crime organizations smuggle counterfeit cigarettes because of the substantial profits it generates. Much of these profits fund other criminal activities including money laundering and terrorism.([link widoczny dla zalogowanych])
"We see no obstacles in the way of extension,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," said the spokesman. "Our relationship with Ferrari is a real partnership built over a period of over 20 years of constant, mutual support."([link widoczny dla zalogowanych])
Ferrari declined to comment on how close it was to a new deal, but suggested that there was no reason to believe a fresh sponsorship deal would not be agreed.
This year marks Marlboro's 40th season as an F1 team sponsor,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with the brand having originally entered the sport with BRM in 1971.
The current deals run until the end of this season,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but sources have revealed that negotiations are at an advanced stage for them to be renewed until the end of 2014.

Importers violating intellectual property rights may be subject to civil penalties and/or criminal prosecution. The domestic value of this shipment was estimated at $443,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],400.
In fiscal year 2009,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 14,841 seizures of counterfeit and pirated goods with a total domestic value of $260.7 million were intercepted by CBP at U.S. ports of entry.([link widoczny dla zalogowanych])
Marlboro is on the verge of extending its title sponsorship deals with both Ferrari and the Ducati MotoGP team,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], AUTOSPORT has learned.
Last year Marlboro was forced to abandon its bar-code sponsorship design following suggestions it was a form of subliminal advertising. It has been replaced this year by an all new logo,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which was sported by Ferrari personnel during last week's Wrooom media event.
Los Angeles,([link widoczny dla zalogowanych]) California - U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) import specialists and officers at the Los Angeles/Long Beach seaport complex intercepted and seized a shipment of counterfeit [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] arriving from China with an estimated manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $1.1 million.
As an attempt to mislead ([link widoczny dla zalogowanych])CBP and circumvent U.S. federal laws, smugglers falsely invoiced the shipment as “hang tags and hang plugs”. Examination of the merchandise revealed a total of 22,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],170 cartons equivalent to more than 4.4 million individual cigarettes in violation of the Marlboro Light 100’s and Marlboro Gold Pack trademarks.
Counterfeit cigarettes not only affect trademark owners,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but defraud consumers and deprive government of tax revenue. Consumers think they pay less for a genuine product, when in reality they pay less for a product of substandard quality.
A spokesman for Philip Morris, Marlboro's parent company,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], said that any new deal would be wholly within international law.
“This seizure is a fine example of the hard work the men and women of CBP perform to protect the American consumer and the economic vitality of our country,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],” said CBP Acting Director of Los Angeles Field Operations. “Preventing the importation of illegal merchandise continues to be a top priority for CBP.”([link widoczny dla zalogowanych])
Although tobacco sponsorship had originally been expected to be eradicated from F1,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and many countries ban the display of sponsorship logos,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Marlboro has continued its high-profile association with both F1 and MotoGP.
"All conditions (for extension) have been met,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," he said.([link widoczny dla zalogowanych])
