(Baonghean.vn) - Yen Thanh District Police (Nghe An) clarified that from the beginning of July 2020 until the time of arrest, this group of subjects had recorded lottery numbers via mobile phones with an amount of 165 million VND.
On August 10, Yen Thanh District Police said that the unit is consolidating the case file and prosecuting the gambling group led by Phan Thi Tuyet (born in 1983), residing in Van Trang hamlet, Long Thanh commune (Yen Thanh). Tuyet's husband is serving a sentence for gambling.
According to documents from the investigation agency, after a period of monitoring and verifying the reported information, Yen Thanh District Police found that Phan Thi Tuyet, residing in Van Trang hamlet, Long Thanh commune, had many signs of collusion with other subjects to gamble in the form of recording lottery numbers through personal phones, so they established a special project to fight.

After collecting all relevant documents and evidence, on August 5, the Special Task Force issued an order to crack the case, arresting two subjects, Phan Thi Tuyet (born in 1983) and Thai Huy Cong (born in 1970), both residing in Van Trang hamlet, Long Thanh commune, for gambling, while the subjects were conducting transactions to record lottery numbers via mobile phones. The seized exhibits included 3 mobile phones, 10 lottery recording cables, and 2 notebooks related to lottery numbers.
Based on the statements of the subjects, consistent with the collected evidence, the investigation agency arrested 5 more subjects related to gambling, including: Thai Van Luong (born in 1986), Mai Dinh Hung (born in 1984), both residing in Long Thanh commune; Le Xuan Than (born in 1958), residing in Xuan Thanh commune; Pham Thanh Tung (born in 1968), residing in Dong Thanh commune and Dang Huu Le (born in 1992), residing in Nhan Thanh commune; confiscated 8 more mobile phones and related exhibits and evidence.
The gambling method used by the subjects is that the "gamblers" contact or text Phan Thi Tuyet via phone to record the lottery numbers. In the afternoons of the day, after the Northern Lottery results are available, the "gamblers" use that as a basis, comparing it with the numbers previously sent to Tuyet to see if they "won the lottery or won the lottery". According to Tuyet, each lottery point converted to Vietnamese Dong is 80,000 VND, while the lottery number is 1,000 VND, if won, they will receive 70,000 VND.
Currently, Yen Thanh District Police are temporarily detaining the subjects to consolidate the case file and documents to prosecute the subjects for the crime of "Gambling".
