(Baonghean.vn) - Introducing himself as an officer of the Criminal Police Department who had connections to send workers to England at cheap prices, Binh defrauded the victim of more than 500 million VND.

On July 9, the Investigation Police Department of Nghe An Province Police announced that it had prosecuted and detained Bui Van Binh (30 years old, residing in Trang Son commune, Do Luong district, Nghe An) for the crime of Fraudulent appropriation of property.

Previously, in July 2015, Nghe An Provincial Police initiated a case of fraud and property appropriation. Collecting documents, the police identified the "officer of the Criminal Police Department" as Bui Van Binh. However, the suspect fled, so the police issued a wanted notice.

After months of tracking the fugitive, detectives discovered Bui Van Binh hiding in Binh Duong province. In mid-June 2016, Binh was arrested in Thuan An town (Binh Duong) and extradited to Nghe An.

According to police records, in mid-April 2015, Binh, dressed elegantly, took the initiative to get acquainted with Mr. Nguyen Trong Hien - a bus driver running the route from Do Luong district to Hanoi. Binh introduced himself as Tuan Anh, an officer of the Criminal Police Department of the Ministry of Public Security on duty. Tuan Anh promised to "protect" Dung's bus if it encountered any problems while participating in traffic.

After a few times the bus encountered difficulties, Mr. Hien called for help and was successfully helped by Binh, so he placed his absolute trust. Knowing that the "fish had taken the bait", the "fake" police started to introduce Mr. Hien to a connection that could send people to the UK for export at a low cost.

Believing him, Mr. Hien asked Tuan Anh to do the paperwork for him to go abroad. Mr. Hien went to the bank 7 times to transfer a total of 520 million VND into Tuan Anh's account to complete the paperwork. However, after transferring the full amount, Mr. Hien could not contact Tuan Anh.
