A woman who sold extremely dangerous fake contact lenses as an easy way to make money has been convicted of selling counterfeit goods.
Zahra Gillani sourced them from Chinese-run website Alibaba, which Newcastle Crown Court heard was notorious for advertising fake items.
The 31-year-old had told her trial she believed they were authentic.
However, a jury found her guilty of three counts of selling and one count of possessing counterfeit goods.
She was also convicted on a fifth charge of applying labels identical to, or likely to be mistaken for, a registered trademark, and will be sentenced on 21 April.
