Nghe An police dismantled a lottery betting ring with transactions of nearly 1 billion VND/day.
(Baonghean.vn) - Under the direction of the leaders of Nghe An Provincial Police, the Criminal Police Department of Nghe An Police and Yen Thanh District Police co-chaired and coordinated with the Ministry of Public Security's Professional Department to eradicate a large-scale inter-provincial gambling ring in the form of recording lottery numbers, arresting 10 subjects.
The above line is led by Hoang The Vinh (born 1976), residing in Phu Dien ward, Bac Tu Liem district, Hanoi city.
To operate the network, Hoang The Vinh colluded with many subjects in provinces and cities across the country to gamble in the form of recording lottery numbers.
During their operations, the subjects have many tricks to conceal their identity, background, criminal behavior and have many ways to deal with the authorities such as: Using junk SIM cards, frequently changing phone numbers, using social networking applications Facebook, Zalo, Telegram for transactions...
In Nghe An, there are 04 subjects directly involved in Hoang The Vinh's gambling ring, in which Nguyen Canh Minh (born in 1988), residing in Xuan Thanh commune, Yen Thanh district, was identified by the police as the general "agent" operator of Nghe An in the above ring. In addition to Minh, 03 other subjects residing in Yen Thanh district were also arrested, including: Nguyen Canh Tai (born in 1999), Thai Thi Quy (born in 1989), both residing in Xuan Thanh commune and Nguyen Van Dinh (born in 1999), residing in Long Thanh commune.
Realizing that this was a gambling ring with large numbers of people, closely linked by many subjects in many provinces and cities, operating in a sophisticated and professional manner, causing disorder and insecurity in the area, the Criminal Police Department reported to the Provincial Police leadership to establish a special project to fight.
After a period of monitoring and synchronous application of professional measures, on March 26, 2024, the Special Task Force divided into 10 working groups with many officers and soldiers to simultaneously and successfully arrest 10 subjects in the inter-provincial gambling ring residing in Nghe An province, Binh Duong province and Hanoi city led by Hoang The Vinh.
The police seized evidence: 21 mobile phones, 02 cars and many related documents. Initially, the investigation agency determined that the amount of money the subjects transacted gambling by recording lottery numbers on the day of arrest was nearly 01 billion VND.
Currently, the case is being further investigated and expanded by the Criminal Police Department of Nghe An Province.
