Previously, in response to the Prime Minister’s directive to launch a campaign to prevent and combat smuggling, trade fraud, counterfeit goods, and intellectual property infringement nationwide from May 15 to June 15, 2025, the Nam Dinh Police proactively coordinated with provincial agencies, branches, and functional forces to simultaneously deploy and strengthen the inspection, combat, and handling of crimes and violations, especially for essential goods such as food, animal products, and nearly 55,000 packs of counterfeit cigarettes were discovered and seized for destruction.
Two individuals involved in the sale of counterfeit goods were arrested and prosecuted with the spirit of “no forbidden zones and no exceptions.” Eight establishments engaged in food processing and trading and restaurants that failed to comply with the law on the 3-step food safety control procedure and failed to ensure food safety and environmental hygiene were fined nearly VND 100 million.
