In a regular press conference held by the Ministry of Public Security on March 26th, Lieutenant General Nguyen Van Thanh, Deputy Head of the Criminal Investigation Department for Corruption, Economic Crimes, and Smuggling (C03), provided information to the media regarding a case related to Phuc Son Corporation.
The Case
Aside from Nguyen Van Hau, the Chairman of Phuc Son Corporation, the investigative agency has also initiated legal proceedings and temporary detention of several local officials, including former provincial Party Secretary Hoang Thi Thuy Lan, former Chairman of Vinh Phuc Le Duy Thanh, Dang Trung Hoanh, former Chief of District Party Committee Office Mang Thit, Vinh Long.
According to Lieutenant General Nguyen Van Thanh, “Nguyen Van Hau engaged in deceptive and coercive acts against former Vinh Phuc officials through his personal relationships. The Ministry of Public Security regards this behavior as highly dangerous, constituting a new form of crime that could potentially disrupt the normal functioning of the grassroots political system. During the ongoing investigation, other individuals involved will also be processed. The media will be provided with further information once the suspects are officially charged.”
The Amount
Regarding the amount transferred, Lieutenant General Nguyen Van Thanh revealed that it was substantial: “Particularly, Nguyen Van Hau transferred money to several individuals, including Dang Trung Hoanh, totaling 64 billion VND. Hoanh used the money for various purposes, including personal interests.”
Dang Trung Hoanh previously served as the Chief of District Party Committee Office Mang Thit, Vinh Long, and is currently under investigation for the charge of “Exploiting influence over individuals in positions of authority for personal gain.”
Brigadier General To An Xo, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Public Security, stated that numerous officials involved in this case had violated the law due to encountering “hidden obstacles.”
