Arrested 3 subjects using software on social networks to lend billions of dong at high interest rates
(Baonghean.vn) - The Criminal Police Department, Nghe An Provincial Police has just successfully broken up a case, arresting 3 subjects specializing in loan sharking with amounts of billions of dong.
Recently, through the work of grasping the situation, the Criminal Police Department discovered a number of subjects with many suspicious signs related to loan sharking activities in civil transactions in Vinh city and Nghi Loc and Dien Chau districts. The subjects took advantage of the economic difficulties of people in Nghe An province to lend money at high interest rates from 3,000 VND to 5,000 VND/1 million VND/1 day (equivalent to 108% to 182.5%/1 year).
When the interest payment deadline comes and the borrower fails to pay on time, the subjects will directly come to the borrower's house to threaten and put pressure on them. The behavior of this group of subjects causes outrage among the masses, affecting the security and order situation in the areas. In this situation, the Criminal Police Department, Nghe An Police has established a special project to fight.
During the verification process, the police identified the three ringleaders of the loan sharking ring as Ho Duy Khanh (born in 1991), residing in Hung Binh ward, Vinh city; Nguyen Son Hoang (born in 1986), residing in Quan Hanh town, Nghi Loc district; and Dang Si Bach (born in 1992), residing in Dien Tho commune, Dien Chau district.
These are subjects with many complex social relationships and very sophisticated activities. Khanh and Hoang are subjects with criminal records. Along with that, in the process of lending money, the subjects do not write papers showing the loan interest rate but use app software on social networks to manage lending money and collect interest, making the fight against this group of subjects encounter many difficulties.
After collecting documents and evidence, from December 20 to 27, 2023, the Criminal Police Department of Nghe An Province successfully broke the case and arrested the above 3 subjects for the act of lending at high interest rates in civil transactions.
Initially, the Investigation Agency proved that from the beginning of 2023 until the time of arrest, the above 3 subjects had lent 20 people in Nghe An province over 2 billion VND, illegally profiting over 500 million VND.
Currently, the project is continuing to investigate and expand.
