On June 21, the Thanh Hoa City Police Department issued a decision to initiate a case, prosecute and temporarily detain 6 subjects for producing and trading in counterfeit food and foodstuffs...

Subjects in the fake milk tea production and trading ring were arrested with evidence.

The 6 subjects prosecuted and arrested include: Do Trong Nghia, born in 1980 in Ward 15, District 4, Ho Chi Minh City; Dong Ngo Minh Hieu, born in 1987 in Bao Loc city, Lam Dong province; Nguyen Van Dong, born in 1982; Nguyen Van Thong, born in 1981, all in Giong Trom district, Ben Tre province; Duong Van Thao, born in 1991 in Hung Yen city, Hung Yen province and Dang Quoc Toan, born in 1978 in Phu Son ward, Thanh Hoa city.

Subjects in the fake milk tea production and trading ring were arrested.

Previously, Thanh Hoa City Police and Market Management Team No. 10 of Thanh Hoa Market Management Department inspected the compliance with the law in the production and trading of goods and services at Dang Quoc Toan's beverage business in Phu Son ward, Thanh Hoa city.

During the inspection, it was discovered that this business was trading in some milk tea ingredients, namely Loc Phat black tea and Loc Phat jasmine green tea. All of these ingredients showed signs of counterfeiting the product labels and packaging of Loc Phat Tea Company Limited in Ho Chi Minh City. The value of the infringing goods was approximately more than 10 million VND. According to the appraisal results of the authorities, all of the black tea and jasmine green tea packaging seized by the police at Mr. Dang Quoc Toan's business establishment were not produced by Loc Phat Tea Company Limited.

Expanding the investigation, Thanh Hoa City Police conducted verification in many provinces and cities in the North and South. Thereby, they discovered a chain specializing in producing and trading fake milk tea labels of Phuc Loc and Phuc Long Tea Companies.

Accordingly, the subjects: Do Trong Nghia, Nguyen Van Thong, Dong Ngo Minh Hieu colluded with each other to produce and trade fake milk tea. After producing the fake tea, the above subjects offered the goods to Duong Van Thao in Hung Yen province. After purchasing all the fake tea, Thao sold it on the market and posted it on his personal Facebook. Because he wanted it cheap, Dang Quoc Toan in Thanh Hoa city negotiated and bought the tea from Thao.

Up to now, during the investigation and verification process, the Thanh Hoa City Police Department has seized 15,000 fake tea packaging bags; 2.7 tons of various types of fake tea products.

The case is currently being investigated, clarified and strictly handled according to the provisions of law.
