Wanted by the police, the rice broker who defrauded farmers has turned himself in.
On the morning of August 1st, the police announced that, after a period of investigation, pursuit, and persuasion, Danh Quanh (born in 1980) had surrendered to the police.
Danh Quanh (residing in Van Thanh hamlet, Hon Dat commune, An Giang province) is a wanted fugitive by the An Giang Provincial Police Investigation Agency for the crime of "Fraudulent appropriation of property".
According to the case file, between December 2023 and January 2024, Danh Quanh and several other individuals, despite not owning any farmland, conspired to lure seven rice buyers to plots of land belonging to local residents in Hon Dat district, Kien Giang province (now An Giang province) to sign numerous rice purchase and sale contracts, thereby misappropriating a total of over 5.7 billion VND in rice deposits.
The Investigation Police Department of Hon Dat District issued a decision to initiate a criminal case, indict the suspect, and issue an arrest warrant for temporary detention against Danh Quanh for the crime of "Fraudulent appropriation of property." However, Quanh fled the area. On July 16, the Investigation Police Department of An Giang Province issued a wanted notice for Quanh.
The case is currently being investigated by the Investigation Agency of the An Giang Provincial Police, who are verifying the roles of the individuals involved in the case to handle it according to the law.
