The Line, Episode 3: The Prosecutor's Office Refuses to Approve the Arrest Warrant for Vien
In episode 3 of "The Dividing Line," Deputy Director Bui Hang Thu (Hong Diem) refuses to approve the emergency arrest warrant for Director Vien, forcing the investigative agency to search for more evidence.
In the latest developments of episode 3 of the series "The Dividing Line," the confrontation between the investigative agency and the prosecutor's office becomes tense as the request for the urgent arrest of Vien (Doan Quoc Dam), Director of Vien Vinh Company, has not yet been approved.
A well-structured argument from Vice President Bui Hang Thu
Despite the investigating agency having added more documents proving Vien's criminal behavior, Deputy Prosecutor Bui Hang Thu (Hong Diem) remained cautious. She argued that prosecuting gambling offenses at this time might not have sufficient solid grounds.
Ms. Thu argued: "Like you, I want to pursue this case to the end, but prosecuting gambling offenses at this time, if there isn't enough evidence, the defendant, being knowledgeable about the law, could turn the tables with their lawyer, or even sue us in return." This caution aims to avoid legal risks and ensure the supremacy of the law.
New details emerge regarding tax evasion
To convince the Prosecutor's Office, the police stated they would send additional documents detailing Vien Vinh Company's tax evasion of tens of billions of dong using sophisticated methods. Upon receiving this information, Deputy Prosecutor Bui Hang Thu requested the files be transferred and promised to provide an immediate response, opening a new avenue of investigation for the case.
The race to erase the traces of crime.
While authorities were considering legal procedures, Vien didn't sit idly by. He hired IT experts to erase all traces of his crime from the computer system. Upon receiving the report, Thang (Bao Anh) and his team were ordered to act immediately to prevent the destruction of crucial evidence. This technological and time-sensitive chase promises to deliver many dramatic twists.
Complex political context
Besides the main case, the film also depicts political issues in Viet Dong province. Mr. Thuy (Meritorious Artist Pham Cuong), Chairman of the People's Committee, reports to Mr. Sach (People's Artist Trung Anh), Permanent Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, about the shortcomings following the merger and streamlining of the administrative apparatus. Specifically, some senior officials who were demoted to deputy positions have submitted petitions, claiming that the reassignment is unfair, revealing internal conflicts within the government apparatus.
The details will be shown in "The Dividing Line" episode 3, airing at 8 PM on October 31st on VTV1.
