13 years in prison for the ringleader of the police academy scam
(Baonghean.vn) -On September 16, the People's Court of Nghe An province opened the first instance trial of the criminal case against defendants Nguyen Thi Ngoc Thinh and Tran Xuan Loc for fraud and property appropriation.
According to the indictment, between October 2010 and September 2011, by means of fraud to get jobs for their children and siblings to study at the People's Police Schools, Ministry of Public Security, Nguyen Thi Ngoc Thinh (57 years old, residing in Hung Phu commune, Hung Nguyen district, Nghe An province) and Tran Xuan Loc (37 years old, residing in Duc Long commune, Duc Tho district, Ha Tinh province) colluded with each other to commit fraud and appropriate money from Le Thi Mui, Tu Thi Ha, Nguyen Thi Thanh, Nguyen Thi Thanh Huong, Nguyen Thi Thanh, Hoang Thi Thuy, Pham Thi Sen and Le Van Tri (all residing in Nghe An) with a total amount of 1 billion 525 million VND.
What is condemnable is that before committing the crime, the defendants Tran Xuan Loc and Nguyen Thi Ngoc Thinh were both teachers working in the pedagogical environment with a career in training people. Just because they wanted to get rich illegally, Loc colluded with the defendant Nguyen Thi Ngoc Thinh to commit fraud and appropriation of property. To easily deceive the victims, Loc and Thinh made a fake Decision, fake seal and fake signature of the Director of the People's Police Academy on adding training quotas for the two majors of Intermediate Traffic Police and Intermediate Crime Investigation... along with an extract of a fake list of students from the provinces of Hung Yen to Ha Tinh, including 7 cases of children from Nghe An.

After a day of trial, considering that the defendants' crimes were particularly serious, infringing on the people's interests, the presiding judge sentenced defendant Nguyen Thi Ngoc Thinh to 13 years in prison, defendant Tran Xuan Loc to 2 years in prison but with a suspended sentence, forcing defendant Thinh to pay 1 billion 525 million VND in compensation; defendant Loc must be responsible for paying 675 million VND in compensation to the victims.
