According to Colonel Nguyen Manh Hung - Deputy Director of Nghe An Police, previously, through monitoring work, the police identified a group of subjects who regularly organized gambling, their usual locations were in Nam Dan district and many other locations.
In April 2019, the provincial police leaders agreed to let Nam Dan district police establish a special project to fight and destroy the gambling ring. Due to the complex and sophisticated nature of this gambling ring, Nghe An provincial police sent a dispatch requesting the Criminal Police Department (Ministry of Public Security) to help and coordinate in solving the case.

According to the Head of the Provincial Police Department, these gamblers are from all over the country, residing in many districts and cities in the province, including those from outside the province. “The locations where these gamblers gamble are not stable, but move around in many localities. Sometimes in the forest, sometimes in the middle of the river, sometimes in karaoke bars and motels. This makes it difficult for the police to monitor and arrest them,” Colonel Hung added.
