Previously, in early 2015, Mr. LQĐ's son, LQV, was recruited to serve a limited term of duty at the Quang Ninh Provincial Police. Around July 2015, Mr. Đ was introduced by an acquaintance to Tran Van Khoi, who was working as a police officer in Hanoi and had many "connections" and was able to get V officially recruited into the police force. Mr. Đ met Khoi directly and was promised by Khoi that after 3 years of duty, he would be recruited into the police force.

Khoi asked Mr. D many times to give him more money to take care of his son, the amount of which was 1.1 billion VND.

In early March 2018, LQV completed his duty and left the police force. Seeing that Khoi did not fulfill his commitment, Mr. D asked for his money back. Khoi continued to promise and wrote a commitment to help V get a job in the police force. However, Khoi did not fulfill his commitment and wrote a commitment to acknowledge the debt, but to this day Khoi has not paid.

Immediately upon receiving Mr. D's complaint, the Investigation Police Agency of Quang Ninh Province Police conducted an investigation and verified that Tran Van Khoi was a freelance worker, had no stable job, was frequently absent from the locality, and had signs of theft in the locality.

With the encouragement and persuasion of his family as well as the police on February 26, Khoi went to Quang Ninh Provincial Police to surrender and confess his actions.
