A former army colonel set up a fake company, forged the seal of the Ministry of National Defense, and falsified documents of a Center for Explosive and Mine Detection and Disposal to embezzle money from a mine clearance project.
The leader of the People's Procuracy of Quang Binh province said that it had approved the decision to prosecute and order the temporary detention of Mr. Thai Vinh Tinh (residing in Dong Ha city, Quang Tri province) for the crime of "Fraudulent appropriation of property".

Mr. Tinh is a former colonel, former Director of Construction Company 384, a member of Truong Son Construction Corporation (Army Corps 12 - Ministry of National Defense).
Even though he was retired, he still set up a fake company, forged the seal of the Ministry of National Defense, and forged the documents of the Truong Son Center for Explosive and Mine Detection and Disposal to participate in the bidding package "DH/NT.03 - bomb and mine clearance to build Bao Ninh commune cemetery" invested by the Dong Hoi City Environment and Climate Change Project Management Board.
The contract value of this package is more than 612 million VND, implemented in early 2018. Currently, the contract has been accepted and paid with a payment value of 581,896 million VND (withholding 5% of the warranty cost).
While sending people to work directly with the Project Management Board at the end of 2018, Truong Son Construction Corporation discovered that Mr. Tinh had falsified all documents of Military Region 4, Truong Son Construction Corporation and Truong Son Bomb and Explosive Clearance Center.
