According to investigators, Quang Rambo recruited many accomplices from other provinces (Thanh Hoa, Hung Yen, etc.) to Hanoi to engage in lending at high interest rates and debt collection.
Along with Quang, Nguyen Duc Nhan (born 1986, Thanh Hoa), Do Van Thinh (born 1986, Thai Binh), Nguyen Van Huy (born 2001, Hanoi), and Nguyen Xuan Linh (born 1989, Nghe An) were also arrested. These individuals were apprehended for investigation into the crime of extortion.
Specifically, in early April 2019, Do Van Thinh (born in 1986, from Thai Binh province, working in construction) asked Nguyen Duc Nhan to collect a debt of 1.1 billion VND - payment for a construction contract between Thinh and a company in Ha Dong district, Hanoi. If the debt was collected, Thinh would reward Nhan (but did not specify the amount).
Having received the "contract" from Thinh, Nhan gathered his subordinates and contacted Quang Rambo to join them. Nhan and his group members Nguyen Van Huy, Nguyen Xuan Linh, Nguyen Van Khanh; Quang and his accomplices Quyet, Dung "Rau"... repeatedly accompanied Thinh to the company in Ha Dong, Hanoi to meet with the director to demand payment of the debt.
Not only did they hurl insults and threaten to shoot, this gang of thugs also stalked the company director's family, taking photos of his wife and children to force the victim to hand over 200 million VND for them to share. After receiving the money, the perpetrators continued to threaten the victim until they were arrested.
Authorities are currently continuing their investigation to clarify the matter.
