Daughter-in-law impersonates Central official to embezzle billions from parents-in-law

According to the indictment, in 2016, Hoa married Nguyen Van C (born in 1989, residing in Bot Xuyen commune, My Duc district) and had two children together. Because she had no job, but wanted to be respected by her husband and his family, Hoa lied that she used to work at the General Department of Customs and now worked at the Government Inspectorate.

Because there is no money to spend and for what purposeappropriation of propertyDuring September and October 2020, Hoa gave false information to Mr. Le Van (born in 1992, residing in O Cho Dua ward, Dong Da district, Hanoi) that Hoa worked at the General Department of Customs and the Government Inspectorate, and had a relationship to import electronic goods at prices lower than market value.

Trusting Hoa, Mr. Van transferred to Hoa many times a total of more than 5 billion VND. After each time receiving money from Mr. Van, Hoa used a part to buy iPhone 11 Promax, Airpod 2 and Airpod Pro headphones at high prices, then delivered them to Mr. Van at a price cheaper than the market price so that Mr. Van trusted and continued to transfer money to buy the following shipments.

When Hoa did not deliver the next shipments as promised, Mr. Van urged Hoa to give many reasons such as: The goods were seized by the General Department of Taxation, the General Department of Anti-smuggling, and the force.Market management…checked, detained for investigation so additional tax must be paid; cargo vehicle had an accident… to delay, prolong time.

The investigation results determined that after receiving the money, Hoa repeatedly delivered to Mr. Van a total of more than 2.4 billion VND worth of goods. Hoa appropriated and used the remaining 2.6 billion VND for personal purposes.

After failing to pay Mr. Van 2.6 billion VND many times, Hoa said that he would transfer to Mr. Van the land plot at Row C, General Department 2 Residential Area (Co Nhue 2 Ward, Bac Tu Liem District, Hanoi). Mr. Van agreed and asked Hoa and his wife to complete the procedures to transfer the land plot to him. However, during the procedure, Mr. Van discovered that the Certificate of Land Use Rights given to him by Hoa was fake.

In May 2019, Hoa came up with the idea of ​​asking her husband's family for money by telling her husband and his parents that the People's Police Academy was allocating land to officers and employees in Co Nhue 2 ward. Because many people who were allotted land did not need to use it, they wanted to resell it for 1.9 billion VND.

Then, Hoa made up a story that she had 1.4 billion VND and told her husband to ask his parents for 500 million VND more to buy one of the above plots of land. Trusting Hoa, her parents-in-law gave Hoa 430 million VND.

After that, Hoa went online to hire someone to forge a land use right certificate based on the information she had fabricated. In addition, Hoa also forged two other land use right certificates to ask her husband's parents for 690 million VND. Hoa used this money for personal purposes.

Also using deceitful tricks, Hoa also promised to find a job for her husband's younger brother to work at the General Department of Customs, but in reality, Hoa could not find a job and hired someone to forge the Decision of the General Department of Customs on transferring civil servants to leadership positions for her brother-in-law so that her husband, parents-in-law and brother-in-law would believe her...
