It's almost impossible to come back from "deceptive and illegal".
Although, Amazon is precising exactly the specific reason in their message.
You have to send all the required documents to prove that your products are not counterfeits. If you can't your account will stay deactivated and you cannot create another one, never again in your life.

As @Seller_rI7BZIczK8iACnotes, you need to prove authenticity BUT it is also possible it is something else.
Do you have an LOA from the BRAND? More and more brands are restricting sales on here and THEY can tell Amazon that no one can create an ASIN.
Here is a lengthy discussion that might have some insight to the Amazon terminology (it's a template and some parts may not apply) --
From @Atlas_amazon
(EMPHASIS ADDED PARTS)
For your sourcing, you mention acquiring product directly from the brand, do they also provide to you a letter of authorization? This document would need to explicitly state you have permission to list the product on the platform. As seen in our anti-counterfeit policy, inauthentic product can be product that has not been given explicit authorization to be listed on the platform.
If you have any additional details to share or questions regarding how to proceed, continue to refer here for support.
Best,

UNSUITABLE INVENTORY POLICY

Unsuitable inventory investigations policy
Customer trust is paramount to Amazon, and we strictly prohibit the sale of counterfeit products and other illegal goods. If we find that you have engaged in the sale of such goods through our fulfillment network, we may deactivate your account and offers, consistent with section F-7 of the Fulfillment by Amazon Service Terms in the Business Solutions Agreement ("FBA Service Terms"). We may also withhold and/or dispose of your inventory in order to protect our customers and sellers.
Amazon will notify you if we require additional information about inventory that we have determined may constitute Unsuitable Units under the FBA Service Terms. If your inventory is withheld due to suspected violations of our anti-counterfeit and restricted products policies, we will notify you by email and conduct an investigation.
As part of this investigation, we may request that you provide additional information or documentation regarding your identity, product authenticity, and compliance with applicable laws. We may validate any information that you provide with third parties or government agencies. We may withhold some or all of your inventory while we investigate.
If you do not provide the information we request by the stated deadlines, or if we find that any of your inventory constitutes Unsuitable Units, including but not limited to as a result of fraudulent or illegal activity such as the sale of counterfeit products or illegal goods, the violation of Amazon’s anti-counterfeit policy, or submitting forged documents to Amazon, we may dispose of any such inventory immediately, in accordance with the FBA Service Terms. If we determine that your inventory has not violated this policy, we may release the hold on your inventory or allow you to request that it be returned to you.

Hello @Seller_3zGsAKn9BxkoG,
Thank you for reaching out on the Seller Forums. I wanted to point out that @Seller_rI7BZIczK8iAC and @Seller_kIukTwdhvntAp have provided you with excellent and accurate guidance on this topic, I suggest to review what they have shared.
I see that your account has been deactivated for a violation ofsection 3 of the business solutions agreement also under the unsuitable inventory investigations policy and you would like some clarity on this situation.
You will be required to submit invoices for the inventory that you currently have listed on your account. All invoices submitted must meet our document requirements in order to be accepted.
You mentioned that you are the brand owner for the products you sell, is this true for ALL of the products that you sell? If so, what documentation do you have to prove you own the rights for the brand(s) in question? Have you submitted the requested documentation as of yet? If so, what was the outcome?
I look forward to your response. Once you have reviewed the information and questions above, please feel free to provide more details in this thread. The Forums community and I are here to support you.
Wishing you the best,
LeviDylan
