Discovering a ring of fake documents for marrying Chinese men

Having been brokered to marry a foreigner, Hong Anh colluded with others to forge documents and broker arrangements for two Chinese men to marry Vietnamese women.

On April 25, the Criminal Police Department of Can Tho City Police is temporarily detaining Nguyen Thi Hong Anh (29 years old); Nguyen Thi Banh (61 years old, both residing in Phong Dien district); Nguyen Van Nhut (30 years old, residing in Binh Tan district, Ho Chi Minh City); Jiang Xuhua (40 years old) and Wu Kuaifa (31 years old, both Chinese nationals) for clarification on their involvement in the act of forging documents and seals of agencies and organizations to broker marriages with Chinese people.

According to the police, through verifying the crime report from the people, on the morning of April 23, the police force discovered that Hong Anh had organized to take Jiang Xuhua and Ms. Tran Thi H (22 years old, residing in Phong Dien district) to Ho Chi Minh City to complete procedures to prepare for leaving the country to China to register for marriage. The police force deployed forces and caught the above subjects in the act of receiving money and related documents in Binh Hung Hoa ward (Binh Tan district). Through investigation, it was determined that in 2012, Nguyen Thi Banh brokered for Hong Anh to marry a Chinese man. Through that, Hong Anh got to know and agreed with Jiang Xuhua and Wu Kuaifa to go to Vietnam to find women to marry.

On March 12, Hong Anh, Jiang Xuhua and Wu Kuaifa entered Vietnam (for a period of 3 months, the reason for entry was tourism). Upon arriving in Can Tho, Hong Anh contacted Bảnh to find Vietnamese women to marry Jiang Xuhua and Wu Kuaifa. Bảnh then introduced Ms. H and Ms. Nguyen Thi Dong N (22 years old, residing in Soc Trang province) and arranged to meet them at Ms. Bảnh's house.

After contact, Jiang Xuhua agreed to marry Ms. H, Wu Kuaifa agreed to marry Ms. N. The brokerage and marriage procedure fee for each case was 120 million VND, Banh paid the "bride's" family 40 million VND.

The process of completing exit procedures for Ms. H encountered obstacles because she had previously fled from China to Vietnam without completing exit procedures. Therefore, Ms. H could not continue to apply for an exit passport to China. Banh bought an ID card under the name Nguyen Thi Thuy Hang (24 years old, residing in Kien Giang province), then replaced Ms. H's photo on the ID card to make a passport and asked someone to forge a certificate of single status under the name Hang to complete the exit procedures for her.

After that, Banh guided Ms. H. to the Chinese Embassy to complete the procedures to register her marriage with a foreigner under the new name Nguyen Thi Thuy Hang. While the subjects were exchanging documents and receiving money to prepare to leave for China, they were caught red-handed.
