Prosecution of fraudsters who appropriated property through the form of 'fixing the case'
(Baonghean.vn) - The Criminal Police Department of Nghe An Province has just issued a decision to prosecute the case of "Fraudulent appropriation of property", prosecuting the accused Tran Thi Thuy (born in 1980), residing in Ward 9, Go Vap District, Ho Chi Minh City; temporarily residing in Hung Trung Commune, Hung Nguyen District, Nghe An Province.
Through the work of managing the area, recently the Criminal Police Department of Nghe An Police discovered a group of subjects with suspicious signs of "Fraudulent appropriation of property" by receiving money to "run bail" and "run the case" in Nghe An province, masterminded by Tran Thi Thuy.
Despite having no qualifications or stable job, Tran Thi Thuy informed the victims that she was a lawyer in order to defraud and appropriate property. In Nghe An, Thuy applied to cooperate with a number of law firms to hold the title of “Communications Director, Deputy Branch Manager” to promote the image of the law firms, but in reality, she used that title to commit fraud.
Thuy informed the victims that Thuy had relationships with leaders and officials of state agencies, promising to help suspects and defendants get bail, receive suspended sentences, reduce prison sentences, or even just impose administrative penalties, thereby defrauding and appropriating property. To gain trust from victims, Thuy also regularly posted pictures of her participating in charity activities on social networks, attending court hearings, events, etc.
Determining that the case had signs of serious crime, was complicated in nature, created bad public opinion in society, and affected the reputation of judicial agencies in the area, the Criminal Police Department of Nghe An Police reported to the leaders of the Provincial Police to establish a special project to mobilize forces and means, and apply synchronous professional measures to fight and destroy the above-mentioned property fraud ring.
After a period of surveillance, on April 2, the Criminal Police Department successfully broke the case, arresting Tran Thi Thuy for the act of "Fraudulent appropriation of property". At the police station, the subject admitted to the crime.
Initially, the Police Agency determined that from October 2023 to January 2024, Thuy and a number of subjects defrauded 8 victims in Vinh City and Nghi Loc District with an amount of more than 2 billion VND.
Currently, the Criminal Police Department of Nghe An Police is continuing to expand the investigation, clarifying the fraudulent behavior of the subject related to the field of labor export.
Nghe An police announced that any victims of Tran Thi Thuy who have not contacted the police should quickly report to the Criminal Police Department of Nghe An Police for coordination and resolution.
