A man in his 50s received a suspended jail term for selling 8.5 billion won ($7.5 million) worth of counterfeit clothes bearing the name of the luxury outwear brand Moncler.

The Incheon District Court said Wednesday that it had sentenced a man, 52, to 1 1/2 years of imprisonment suspended for three years. The man also received 120 hours of community service and a 900 million won fine. 


(Yonhap) (Yonhap)

The man was charged with selling more than 16,000 items of clothing with fake Moncler labels, amounting to 8.5 billion won in value. A considerable number of the products had been smuggled from overseas.

The verdict read, “Although the accused has committed a severe crime that violates both the rights of the owner of the brand and the consumers, he admitted his misdeed from the start and is clean of any similar convictions.”
