Rogue traders in Bahrain could be jailed for up to three years, fined 10,000 dinars, and face closure of their busineses under a proposal passed by the Shura council, reported Bahrain's Gulf Daily News. Producing or selling sub-standard or counterfeit goods, or deliberately misleading consumers through false advertising will be punishable with three-year sentences and fines of up to 5,000 dinars. Those who import substandard or counterfeit goods face up to a year in jail and/or fines of up to 10,000 dinars. Culprits will be obliged to replace the goods or refund the buyer, and if they repeat the offence, their business may be closed for three months or cancelled permanently.
