The case was uncovered after economic crime investigators detected signs of counterfeit fashion products being sold at a clothing store in Xuan Huong-Dalat Ward.

During an inspection, authorities seized hundreds of jackets bearing counterfeit labels of several well-known fashion brands.

Police said the shop owners were unable to provide invoices or documents proving the legal origin of the goods.

Investigators estimated the value of the counterfeit products at nearly VND 500 million (USD 19,000).

According to police, the suspects admitted purchasing clothing from other sources before attaching labels of famous fashion brands and reselling the products for profit.

The case remains under investigation.
