Seized a large quantity of fake, poor quality fertilizers

(Baonghean.vn) -The Nghe An Police Department's Economic and Public Order Investigation Force has just discovered and seized a large quantity of poor quality fertilizer that a subject was preparing to sell to people in mountainous districts of Nghe An.

In early August 2013, the Police Department received a report that a person from Do Luong was selling fake fertilizers labeled Viet My fertilizer to people in mountainous districts of Nghe An. The police force stepped in to investigate. At 9:30 p.m. on August 21, at Vinh Son market, Do Luong district, the Anti-smuggling Team (Department of Criminal Police on Economic and Official Affairs of the Provincial Police) discovered a truck with license plate 37S-0091 owned by Le Thi Huong (born in 1978), residing in Thai Son commune, Do Luong, loading 193 bags of 25kg Viet My NPK fertilizer suspected to be counterfeit. At the scene, the police force seized more than 5,000 unused Viet My fertilizer packages.

At the investigation agency, Le Thi Huong stated that because she realized that people in mountainous districts preferred Viet My fertilizer for use in farming, she came up with the idea of ​​making illegal money by buying low-quality multi-micronutrient fertilizers at cheap prices and then using the packaging of Viet My fertilizer to make a profit 5 times more.

Currently, the authorities are taking fertilizer samples for testing to have a basis for handling.
