The scheme by a female Eximbank employee to embezzle nearly 50 billion VND.

(Baonghean.vn) - Using the tactic of forging signatures and creating fictitious documents to trick customers into signing them, they then carried out transactions to withdraw or transfer money from customers' savings accounts, embezzling nearly 50 billion VND.

The subject is Nguyen Thi Lam.

Recently, Nguyen Thi Lam, a cashier at the Do Luong Transaction Office of the Vietnam Export Import Commercial Bank (Eximbank) branch in Vinh City, showed signs of suspicious economic activity, including owning expensive cars, building houses, and purchasing numerous plots of land. Through intelligence gathering and investigative methods, the Economic Police Department of Nghe An Province recognized signs of fraud and misappropriation of assets by Nguyen Thi Lam. Case 916E was established to investigate and clarify the matter.

On September 19th, the Investigation Police Department of Nghe An province issued a decision to initiate criminal proceedings. At that time, Nguyen Thi Lam was absent from the locality. Through persuasion efforts, two days later, Nguyen Thi Lam surrendered to the police.

Number of forged documents

During the investigation, Nguyen Thi Lam confessed that due to a lack of money for personal expenses, coupled with lax management at the Do Luong Transaction Office of Eximbank's Vinh City Branch, and the fact that depositors readily accepted all requests when bank officials offered high interest rates, Lam conceived the idea of ​​defrauding and appropriating assets.

Taking advantage of her position as a bank teller and her close relationship with customers during transactions, Nguyen Thi Lam forged signatures and created fictitious documents to request customers to sign, then carried out transactions to withdraw or transfer money from customers' savings accounts at the bank to other accounts.

The subject is Dang Dinh Hong.

Accordingly, from April 2016 to the present, the amount of money Lam has embezzled from customers has reached 47 billion VND. Some people have been defrauded of tens of billions of VND.

Regarding the incident, on September 24th, the Economic Police Department of Nghe An Provincial Police also arrested Dang Dinh Hong (born in 1973), Director of the Do Luong Transaction Office, Eximbank Vinh City Branch, on charges of "Negligence causing serious consequences".

The Nghe An Provincial Police are continuing to expand the investigation into this case.
