Prosecuted 4 subjects gambling by text message
(Baonghean.vn) - The subjects do not gather directly to play lottery as usual, but operate entirely via text messages. The "agents" will collect the lottery numbers of individual customers and then send text messages to the subjects.
On May 24, the leader of Do Luong District Police said that the Investigation Police Agency had just initiated a case, prosecuted the accused, and temporarily detained 4 subjects.Nguyen Sy Toan (born in 1995), Nguyen Dang Hoan (born in 1990), Vo Huu Tan (born in 1984), Nguyen Khac Ly (born in 1990), all residing in Nhan Son commune, Do Luong district, are being investigated for gambling in the form of lottery numbers.

In early May 2019, Do Luong District Police discovered a lottery gambling ring with a large network and many participants. Project 519D was established to combat it.
After a period of monitoring, the Investigation Committee identified the three leaders of this ring as Nguyen Sy Toan (born 1995), Nguyen Dang Hoan (born 1990), and Vo Huu Tan (born 1984), all residing in Nhan Son commune, Do Luong district.
3 subjects organized gambling in the form of lottery and number recording, and at the same time received lottery and number boards from subordinate "agents".
To bypass the authorities, the subjects do not gather directly to play lottery as usual, but operate entirely via text messages. The "agents" will compile the lottery numbers of individual customers and then send text messages to the subjects. For small lottery boards, the subjects will directly act as "bookmakers".
For large lottery boards, the subjects will send them to subjects in Ho Chi Minh City or Lam Dong province. Here, the subjects only act as intermediaries and then receive commissions from these subjects.
It is worth mentioning that the methods of the subjects are extremely sophisticated, mainly transacting via text messages, Facebook messages, then transferring money via bank transfer. Old data is quickly destroyed to "dispose of evidence".
On May 8, 2019, Do Luong District Police issued an arrest warrant and searched the residences of the suspects. The police seized 15 cell phones and nearly 100 million VND in cash. Expanding the investigation, the police arrested Nguyen Khac Ly (born in 1990), also residing in Nhan Son Commune, Do Luong District.
Initially, the investigation team proved that there were 11 subjects involved and the gambling amount was nearly 400 million VND.
The case is currently under further investigation.
