Electrical appliance store in Qatar closed down over fraud
The Ministry of Economy and Commerce's consumer rights’ cell has closed down a store for a month for selling electrical appliances with false country of origin labels.
The Peninsula reports that the store is located in Al Wakrah and the items sold included switches and air-conditioner connectors falsely advertised as having been manufactured in the UK while they were made in China.

According to a ministry statement, the closure was ordered after the violation was detected by the ministry’s inspectors during crackdowns carried out to monitor the market and check price manipulations and sale of counterfeit goods.
Inspectors also fined the vendor, said the statement.
The ministry has urged people to report suspected violations to its Consumer Protection and Anti-Commercial Fraud Department on hotline 16001 or email: [email protected]
