A haul of counterfeit designer clothing worth more than £200,000 is to be sent to people in some of the poorest areas of Africa and Eastern Europe.
The garments have been seized by Trading Standards officers in a series of raids across Leicester over the past two years.
The clothing – including fakes bearing household name brands such as Adidas, Franklin & Marshall and Superdry – is to be passed to charities, which will then ship them to Zambia and Belarus.
Trading Standards officers have passed the clothing to the National Police Aid Convoys (NPAC) and Friends of Belarus, which provide donated clothing, medical equipment and other goods to the needy at home and abroad.
