Two women set up more than 50 'ghost' companies, short-selling 2,000 billion VND in invoices
Two women in Da Nang set up more than 50 "ghost" companies to short sell more than 2,000 billion VND in invoices, illegally profiting tens of billions of VND.
On the evening of December 21, the Economic Police Department (Da Nang City Police) prosecuted and temporarily detained Bui Thi Thu Nguyet (33 years old, residing in An Hai Bac ward, Son Tra district) and Nguyen Thi Khanh Van (37 years old, residing in Hai Chau district) to investigate the act of "Illegal trading of invoices".
Previously, through the work of grasping the situation, the Economic Police Department's reconnaissance discovered that in the city there were a number of people who showed signs of establishing a series of "ghost" businesses to carry out the act of selling fake invoices.
This behavior greatly affects the operations of businesses, tax authorities and causes tax losses to the State budget, so the Economic Police Department reported to the City Police Director to establish a special project to combat it.
After a period of investigation, the police temporarily detained Nguyet and Van.
Initially, the police determined that these two subjects had established and operated more than 50 "ghost" businesses, issued hundreds of thousands of fake invoices with a total value of more than 2,000 billion VND, and illegally profited tens of billions of VND.
Police searched Nguyet and Van's residence and temporarily seized many related documents to expand the investigation of the case and identify related individuals and organizations.
