Some of the packets of cigarettes were hidden in boxes of crisps within the store.
But his defence solicitor told Magistrates that customers of the store were not being mislead into buying products they thought were legal - pointing out that if people bought cigarettes with foreign languages on the box they would likely realise they were not genuine.
The charges Saleh pleaded guilty to included offering for sale goods bearing a false trademark and supplying a tobacco product not carrying health warnings.
Aneeka Sarwar, prosecuting, said: “There was a degree of professionalism as the cigarettes were concealed in crisp packet boxes on the premises, and that cigarettes were found in a van and his home. This indicates a high degree of professionalism.”
