Tran Van Ninh, 23 years old and Nguyen The Duy, 19 years old, secretly installed cameras in motel rooms and blackmailed couples.
Authorities allege that in late November 2020, Ninh rented a room at a motel in Thanh Van commune, Tam Duong district. While the motel owner was not paying attention, Ninh installed a hidden camera in the room next door. By monitoring couples who came to this room, Ninh collected personal information.
