Daughter 'embezzled' money from her biological mother to give to her husband

(Baonghean.vn) - After stealing more than 25 million VND from her mother, Anh brought 10 million VND to her husband and lied that it was "maternity leave" money.

On December 23, Mr. Vo Van Tinh, Chief of Thanh My Commune Police (Thanh Chuong District, Nghe An), said that he had just sent a file to the district police to continue clarifying the property theft of Le Thi Anh (18 years old).

Because he was raising a child less than one month old, Anh was released on bail by the authorities.

According to the police, knowing that his biological mother, Ms. Nguyen Thi Luong (45 years old, hamlet 5, Thanh My), had just borrowed 40 million VND from the policy bank, Anh had the idea of ​​stealing. At noon on December 21, Anh invited her husband to ride a motorbike from Luc Da commune (Con Cuong district) to visit his mother's hometown.

Knowing that her mother was away on business in Vinh City and that no one was home, Anh searched for the key to open the safe. After embezzling more than 25 million VND, Anh gave her husband 10 million VND. Le Thi Anh then ran to Con Cuong district to hide the money and then returned to Mrs. Luong's house.

"When her husband asked where the money came from, she said that the maternity leave money had just been granted by the Thanh My Commune People's Committee," said Mr. Vo Van Tinh, adding that this was a clue to find the perpetrator of the theft.

On the evening of December 21, after receiving a report from Ms. Luong, Thanh My Commune Police organized a crime scene investigation and investigation into the incident. Anh and his wife were then invited to the commune headquarters to give their statements.

During an administrative check in her husband's pocket, the police discovered 6.5 million VND, all in denominations of 500,000 VND. "When the police asked where the money came from, he said his wife gave it to him and that the Thanh My Commune People's Committee had given her the money for her maternity leave. Since she has no job, how could she have maternity money?", the commune police chief said, adding that after more than an hour of fighting, Le Thi Anh finally admitted that she was in debt and had to "embezzle" from her biological mother./.
