Prosecuted 2 female bank employees in the case of 'embezzling' more than 7.1 billion VND
A bank controller assigned a user account to a credit specialist who then logged in and appropriated money from a number of customers to pay off personal debts.
On November 5, the Ho Chi Minh City Police Department initiated a criminal case and prosecuted Pham Thi Tuong An (36 years old, residing in Hoc Mon district, a credit specialist at a bank with a branch in Ward 17, Go Vap district) for the crime of "Using computer networks, telecommunications networks, and electronic means to commit acts of property appropriation".
The Investigation Police Agency also prosecuted and temporarily detained Vo Thi Ha (32 years old, residing in District 3, bank controller of the above branch) for the crime of "Lack of responsibility causes serious consequences".
According to the initial investigation, since December 2020, Tuong An has been assigned to support the business department, draft documents related to loans of corporate customers; check disbursement documents of customers. After that, Tuong An was assigned additional tasks of accounting, making money transfer orders on the bank's internal system and was given a "user" account.
Vo Thi Ha (a bank controller) was given a “user” account to approve money transfer orders on the bank’s internal system. However, due to subjectivity and lack of responsibility, since December 2021, Ha has given her “user” information and password to Tuong An for An to use in case Ha is not present or to support Ha in the process of handling work.
Taking advantage of this, Tuong An used a computer connected to the bank's internal network, used Ha's "user" to log in, and selected the customer's account that An thought could be used to steal money without being detected. Then, Tuong An created a money transfer order to the relative's account that An had borrowed, and then used Ha's account to approve the money transfer order to steal and use it for personal use.
The Investigation Police Agency has clarified that, between December 2021 and April 26, 2022, Tuong An appropriated more than 7.1 billion VND from the accounts of many customers.
Currently, the Ho Chi Minh City Police Department is continuing to investigate and expand the case.
