According to the indictment, at 6:20 p.m. on June 24, 2017, at the park area of ​​block 17 of Quy Hop town, Quy Hop police discovered Sam Van Le illegally storing drugs, so they brought him to the police station for questioning.

During the investigation, Le confessed that at noon that day, Le invited Do Van Vinh to contribute 250,000 VND each to go find and buy drugs to use. At the gate of the NaSu sugar factory in Nghia Xuan commune (Quy Hop), Vinh and Le bought from Nguyen Duy Hoang a package of drugs for 500,000 VND, weighing 0.085g (according to the conclusion of the forensic examination No. 759 of the Criminal Techniques Department of Nghe An police). After buying the drugs, Vinh gave some to Le, but when Le was about to use them, he was discovered and confiscated.

Arresting and conducting an emergency search at Nguyen Duy Hoang's house in Nghia Hieu commune (Nghia Dan), Quy Hop police discovered and seized 2 mobile phones, 1 small scale, 1 leather wallet containing 100,000 VND, 1 cylindrical plastic bottle, 1 piece of polyethylene and 4 pieces of plastic pipe.

At the investigation agency, Hoang confessed that on June 18, 2017, at the park of block 17, Quy Hop town, a strange woman sold Hoang a package of synthetic drugs for 1 million VND, and that person also gave him a small scale. After returning home, Hoang used a little, and sold the rest to Vinh and Le for 500,000 VND.

As for the woman who sold drugs to Hoang, because she did not have a specific name, age, or address, there was no basis for investigation and prosecution. As for Sam Van Le and Do Van Vinh, the acts of storing and illegally using drugs were not serious enough to warrant criminal prosecution, so they were only subject to administrative punishment.

For the crime of "illegal drug trafficking", the People's Court sentenced defendant Nguyen Duy Hoang to 2 years in prison as prescribed in Clause 1, Article 194 of the Penal Code.
