Some 30,000 counterfeit products for Premier League football clubs including Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United have been seized by Trading Standards from a Harrow-based Amazon business.
In addition, the business – trading as Make it Magical Crafts and Gifts on Amazon – was also found to be selling fakes of other brands such as Hello Kitty, Marvel and Angry Birds.
GetWestLondon reported that the owner, Kiran Ruda, was given an 18-month suspended sentence and was fined £5,000 after he admitted nine counts of handling goods bearing counterfeit trademarks at Harrow Crown Court.
Over 30,000 fake bags, watches, hats, wallets and scarves worth around £125,000 were seized by Trading Standards.
Brent and Harrow Trading Standards officers were first tipped off about the counterfeit operation by a representative of the Football Association.
