Arrest of 'internet gangster' Quang Rambo for extortion

On August 13, the Criminal Police Department - Hanoi Police announced that it had just arrested Do Van Quang (born 1984, aka Quang Rambo) and 4 other subjects to investigate the act of Extortion of property.

Quang Rambo is a notorious criminal who specializes in debt collection and loan sharking, and has close relationships with "internet gangsters" such as Kha Banh, Huan Hoa Hong... On his personal page, Quang often livestreams about "gangster life" and is followed by many people.

According to the investigation agency, Quang Rambo recruited many juniors from other provinces (Thanh Hoa, Hung Yen...) to Hanoi to operate loan sharking and debt collection.

Also arrested with Quang were 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). The subjects were arrested to investigate the act of Extortion of property.

Specifically, in early April 2019, Do Van Thinh (born in 1986, from Thai Binh, working in construction) asked Nguyen Duc Nhan to collect a debt of 1.1 billion VND - the debt of a construction contract between Thinh and a company in Ha Dong district, Hanoi. If he could collect it, Thinh would compensate Nhan (but did not say the specific amount).

Receiving the “contract” from Thinh, Nhan gathered his juniors and called Quang Rambo to join him. Nhan and his group members Nguyen Van Huy, Nguyen Xuan Linh, Nguyen Van Khanh; Quang and Quyet, Dung “rau”… went with Thinh many times to the company in Ha Dong, Hanoi to meet the director to collect the debt.

Not only did they curse and threaten to shoot, this group of thugs also followed the company director's family, took pictures of his wife and children, and forced the victim to give them 200 million VND to divide among themselves. After receiving the money, the thugs continued to threaten and were arrested.

Currently, the authorities are continuing to investigate the incident./.
