Shafiq Hussain, 31, was sentenced to eight months in prison and Mohammed Khan, 21, received a six-month suspended sentence for their involvement in selling counterfeit goods at the Great Dorset Steam Fair in August 2006.The two Birmingham-based men appeared at Dorchester Crown Court to be sentenced after they admitted nine offences of possessing counterfeit clothing and one charge of selling goods with false trademarks.Michael Tomlinson, prosecuting, told the court that Dorset Trading Standards officers seized a total of 4,533 items from the two men, who had set up stalls at the steam fair.He said the stalls had been selling fake items with brand names such as Dolce and Gabana, Henri Lloyd, Lacoste, Nike, Timberland and Prada.
Mr Tomlinson said when they went to inspect the stalls, Trading Standards officers were accompanied by a representative from Lacoste, who confirmed the items were fake.
Khan said he was running the larger stall and confirmed Hussain was in charge of the smaller stall next door.In interview Khan admitted he was running the stall for someone else but refused to identify them.
