A shoe scammer, who sold vast amounts of fake label Disney and Lelli Kelly shoes on Ebay, has been ordered to pay back £80,000.

Antoine Simhani, who lost his job with the Ministry of Justice when he was jailed in December 2011, could now be sent back to prison for 20 months unless finds the money.

His former girlfriend, Fan Fanny Cheung, was ordered to pay back a nominal amount of £1.

A hearing, at Kingston Crown Court on Tuesday, ruled they had made a ‘total benefit’ of £181,000 each from the scam.

When Kingston Council trading standards raided their home in Tolworth Rise South they found 10,000 shoes in a garage.

They were rumbled when a woman in Scotland complained about a pair of shoes that had fallen apart.

Simhani was given a 27 month prison sentence in December 2011 although he is no longer in prison after being let out early.

Cheung was given a suspended prison sentence to stop her five children having to go into care.

David Booker, from Kingston Council’s trading standards team, said: “This was one of the largest ever seizures of counterfeit goods in Kingston. 

“Anyone selling fake merchandise runs the risk of not just a criminal conviction, imprisonment, as in this case, but also of losing their home to pay for their crime.”
