A massive 25 tons of counterfeit and untraceable cosmetics were discovered and confiscated.
Initial investigations revealed that Pham Thi Tuyet, through personal connections, sourced counterfeit cosmetics manufactured in China from a foreign national residing near the Mong Cai border gate. Tuyet then advertised these fake products on Facebook at low prices, attracting buyers nationwide. Nguyen Van Chung, after purchasing these counterfeit cosmetics from Tuyet, created multiple Shopee accounts to resell them on the platform.
The Security Investigation Agency of Quang Tri Provincial Police executed emergency search warrants at the residences of Nguyen Van Chung, Pham Thi Tuyet, Le Huu Minh, and their warehouses in Hanoi and Ninh Binh, seizing over 25 tons of cosmetics with unclear origins.
Based on the collected evidence, the Security Investigation Agency summoned Nguyen Van Chung, Le Huu Minh, and other related individuals for further investigation and case expansion.
