Fraudulently sold other people's land, appropriated 20 billion VND

On November 8, the Investigation Police Agency of Da Nang City Police prosecuted and temporarily detained Dinh Ngoc Binh (59 years old, residing in Hoa Khe ward, Thanh Khe district) to investigate the act of "fraud and appropriation of property”.

According to the initial investigation, due to business losses, the defendant Dinh Ngoc Binh had the idea of ​​fraudulently selling a plot of land with an area of ​​3,528m2.²in Thanh Khe Tay ward (Thanh Khe district) for others.

It is worth mentioning that the owner of this land lot is Ms. Pham Thi Ph., however, Binh held the Land Use Rights Certificate in his hand, so he used this as a basis to create trust for the victim to easily defraud and appropriate the property.

Specifically, in December 2021, Binh met Ms. NTHL and showed her the Land Use Rights Certificate and lied that he had been authorized by the landowner to carry out procedures to change the land use purpose to residential land.

At the same time, Binh lied to Ms. L. that he had been authorized by the landowner to sell the land for 140 billion VND, cheaper than the market price.

To further strengthen trust, Binh promised that after signing the deposit contract, he would complete the procedures to convert the land into residential land and then sign the transfer to Ms. L.

On December 25, 2021, Binh and Ms. L. signed a contract and deposited 20 billion VND to confirm that Ms. L. would buy the above land plot. However, upon receiving Ms. L.'s deposit, Binh withdrew it all for personal use and did not fulfill his commitment.

Realizing that she had been scammed, Ms. L. filed a complaint with the police. During the investigation, the police also received two other complaints from Mr. LXK (41 years old, residing in Lien Chieu district) and Mr. LXP (50 years old, residing in Thanh Khe district) accusing Dinh Ngoc Binh of appropriating a total of 6 billion VND through borrowing money.
