THE Central Investigation Bureau, through the Economic Crime Suppression Division, together with representatives of King Power duty free retailer raided a stall at a shopping mall in the Srinakharin area of Bangkok where luxury perfume bearing fake King Power labels were being sold, TV Channel 7 said today (Feb. 26).
Arrested was Ms. Sirapassorn (surname withheld), 40, and around 40 bottles of various brands of perfume with the fake labels attached seized.
The arrest stemmed from King Power having discovered that some stalls in shopping malls were selling perfume with their company’s labels affixed, which they believed were counterfeit. Upon testing, they found the labels to be counterfeit after which they took the evidence to file a complaint with the police to take legal action.
During the raid it was found that the stall had displayed advertisements selling luxury perfume as special discount prices with the fake King Power labels creating a false sense of credibility.
The suspect told police she was the owner of this stall and had been selling fake-labeled perfume since November last year. She expressed remorse for the incident and admitted to not thoroughly checking the origin of the labels.
