Gia Lai official prosecutes director for counterfeit pesticide production

Gia Lai Provincial Police have officially prosecuted Trần Văn Chính, the Chairman and Director of FARMING DANA Co., Ltd., for the production of counterfeit plant protection products.

Initial investigations reveal that the company lacked the necessary certification to produce pesticides. In August 2024, after previously purchased stock expired or became unusable, Chính allegedly purchased machinery, additives, packaging, and labels to manufacture counterfeit goods. He is accused of mixing, decanting, and packaging 1,500 bottles and 3,000 packets of various counterfeit pesticides for market distribution.

Authorities have issued a decision to prosecute, a ban on leaving the place of residence, and a temporary suspension of exit for the suspect. The investigation is ongoing.
