A
Bollywood DVD counterfeiter has been jailed by Oldham magistrates
for six months.
Farooq
Khawaja (49) of Lee Street, Oldham, admitted 38 offences of
having counterfeit DVDs in his possession for supply.
The
court was told that Khawaja had all of the paraphernalia to
manufacture counterfeit DVDs in his possession.
Trading
standards officers from Oldham Council raided his premises,
Khawaja International, also on Lee Street, on 25 May 2005,
and again on 26
October that year.
Since
then Khawaja did everything he could to evade the courts.
Councillor
David Hibbert, cabinet member for environment and regeneration,
said: "Anyone involved in counterfeiting, no matter what
the goods are, can expect to be dealt with harshly by the
courts."
