Prosecution of group forging health certificates

On the afternoon of December 29, a leader of the Ha Dong District Police (Hanoi) said that they had initiated a case against Ha Thai Son (born 2000, in Phu Tho), Le Duc Duy (born 2000) and Cao Xuan Truong (born 2004), both in Vinh Phuc, for the act of Forging seals and documents of organizations.

Police determined that in early July 2023, realizing that many people needed health certificates, health certificates, etc., Son had the idea of ​​making illegal money.

This subject ordered on social networks 2 fake round seals of the Transport Hospital Joint Stock Company, title seals and some other seals for about 10 million VND.

After that, Son continued to use social networks to order color inkjet printers and laptops to print color portraits. He also learned the steps to print and stamp these seals on A3 health certificates, A4 health certificates, etc. After mastering the skills, Son went to social networking sites to look for customers.

Each health certificate with a stamped portrait photo costs 50,000 VND, a health certificate without a portrait photo costs 30,000 VND, and a health certificate costs 20,000 VND. All payments are made via shipping service.

Son met and got to know Le Duc Duy, a motorbike taxi driver, and then invited Duy to join the network, as a transporter for customers.

At this time, Son agreed to pay Duy 30,000 VND per order. The “delivery person” would come to Son’s rented room (in Thanh Tri district, Hanoi) to receive fake medical certificates and health certificates. At the end of the day, Duy would inform him of the number of orders delivered, then the two subjects would calculate the wages and pay on the same day.

At the end of November 2023, Son placed an order for delivery, but Duy said the car was broken and introduced Cao Xuan Truong. Son then hired Truong to deliver the order to the customer.

On December 27, when Truong went to deliver fake health certificates to Ha Dong district, the Yen Nghia Ward Police Working Group conducted an administrative inspection and discovered and confiscated documents suspected to be fake.

At this time, Truong stated that the health certificates were issued by Son, to be given to Duy and Truong for transport. Ha Dong District Police and Yen Nghia Ward Police immediately summoned the subjects to fight and clarify the above criminal acts.

Yen Nghia Ward Police confiscated 22 A3-sized health examination papers with red round stamps, 2 plastic stamps and many doctor title stamps.

The case is under further investigation.
