Prosecution of female director of production and trade of fake cosmetics
On June 22, the Economic Police Department of Da Nang City Police announced that it had issued a decision to prosecute the case, prosecute the accused and apply preventive measures to prohibit Nguyen Thi My Hanh (born in 1988, residing in My An ward, Ngu Hanh Son district) from leaving her place of residence for the crime of "Producing and trading in counterfeit cosmetics".
Previously, Team 4 - Economic Police Department of Da Nang City Police coordinated with Thac Gian Ward Police to conduct a surprise inspection of the headquarters of Hanh Nguyen Beauty Trading & Service Company Limited (address 134-136 Nguyen Hoang, with Hanh as Director).
Here, the authorities discovered more than 1,300 skin care products of various types; stainless steel trays used for decanting cosmetics; and more than 3,000 boxes, packaging, labels for production... worth nearly 400 million VND.
Through investigation, the Police Agency determined that from 2019 until now, although not licensed to produce cosmetics, Hanh still ordered packaging, bought foundation of unknown origin to decant and package under her own brand. The appraisal results showed that the product "New generation high-class whitening powder with sunscreen Nano Whitening Cream" did not meet the quality standards as announced and stated on the product label.
Nguyen Thi My Hanh's behavior was determined to be counterfeit production, according to the provisions of Point b, Clause 7, Article 3 of Decree 98/2020/ND-CP. Currently, the Investigation Police Department of Da Nang City Police is continuing to expand the investigation of the case.
