Hoang Nam Den was a former officer of a bank branch who defrauded and appropriated billions of dong from many victims.
On May 21, Major Nguyen Thanh Hung - Chief of Staff of Lam Dong Provincial Police said that he had prosecuted and temporarily detained Hoang Nam Den (born in 1978, residing in Lien Nghia town, Duc Trong district, Lam Dong) for fraud and appropriation of property of 22 people with a huge amount of money.
According to initial information, Hoang Nam Den was a former officer of a bank branch in Duc Trong district. From 2016 to September 2017, Den defrauded and appropriated billions of dong from many victims by borrowing money from banks and paying daily interest. After discovering that Den was unable to pay, the victims filed a complaint with the authorities of Lam Dong province. According to the victims' complaints, 22 people were defrauded of up to 110 billion dong.

To investigate and expand the case, the Investigation Police Agency (PC44) of Lam Dong Provincial Police has issued an order to temporarily detain Hoang Nam Den for 4 months to investigate and continue to consolidate records and evidence to handle according to the law.
In addition to Hoang Nam Den, the Investigation Agency is investigating two other cases involving bank officials who, by means of borrowing money at maturity, appropriated billions of dong from the people. That subject is Ngo Minh Son (born in 1969), former Deputy Director in charge of the Transaction Office of a joint stock bank in Duc Trong district.
Son was accused by 10 people, with the initial amount of money embezzled determined to be over 16 billion VND. Son has now been fired and is on the run. Another subject is Nguyen Ngoc Huy (born in 1990), residing in Lien Nghia town, Duc Trong district, a customer service specialist at a joint stock bank, accused of fraud and embezzlement of 22 billion VND. Huy has now been prosecuted for investigation and clarification.
The leader of the Investigation Agency of Lam Dong Province Police warned that the situation of some bank officials using tricks to refinance bank loans, borrow money from customers and people, pay daily interest, and high interest rates is very risky. Many cases aim to appropriate other people's property, and people in the area are asked to raise their vigilance against these tricks of corrupt bank officials.../.
