Six people - including a Russian national who is the suspected ringleader - have been arrested in Paris, Turin and Milan.

They are alleged to have fabricated fake labels representing famous French vineyards, which were then sold at full market value through wine traders around the world.

A French national has been charged with organised fraud and money laundering.
