To avoid detection by the police, Ho Xuan Hoa pretended to be visiting his hometown in Yen Thanh district (Nghe An) but in reality, he was organizing gamblers to participate in betting on matches taking place at EURO 2024.

Hoa is the ringleader, using the General Agent account to organize an online gambling ring for gamblers in Vinh city, Do Luong and Yen Thanh districts (Nghe An province) and Thanh Hoa, Binh Duong, Ho Chi Minh City and Dong Nai provinces. This is a very professionally organized ring with many tricks to deal with the authorities.

Accordingly, Ho Xuan Hoa only lured and provided betting accounts to acquaintances with good financial conditions. All gambling transactions of the subjects were conducted online via smartphones.

Faced with that situation, in order to promptly combat and eradicate the mobile, inter-provincial football betting ring and arrest the subjects, Vinh City Police reported to the leaders of Nghe An Provincial Police to establish a special project.
