Headline: David Beckham wins court case against counterfeiters

Caption: The former football star took action against online sellers touting fake versions of his designer clothes and accessories. DB Ventures (DBV), of which Beckham is a director, had been seeking up to $2 million (£1.6 million) from each of 150 online sellers, mostly in Asia, who it claimed were profiting from the racket. DBV looks after the star's most lucrative deals and had filed a lawsuit in the US, as reported by The Sun newspaper. Paperwork from the case shows the counterfeiters were selling via sites including Amazon, eBay and Etsy.
