106,000 counterfeit car parts were seized along with large quantities of packaging material used to mislead consumers into believing that they were allegedly buying genuine parts.

The trademarks’ owners Toyota Motor Corporation, Hyundai Motor Company and Honda Motor Co. suffered major damage totaling to KZT 1.8 billion. A court investigation is currently underway.
