Fraudulent sale of cemetery land, appropriation of hundreds of millions of dong
Understanding the people's need for cemetery land to build mausoleums for their families, Tran Van Quy defrauded them of land and appropriated hundreds of millions of dong.
On November 23, Nghi Xuan District Police, Ha Tinh Province announced that they had just prosecuted and temporarily detained Tran Van Quy (born 1973), residing in Xuan An town, for the crime of "Fraudulent appropriation of property".
According to authorities, Quy works as a construction worker, specializing in contracting to build cemeteries in Xuan An town.
Grasping the need for cemetery land to build mausoleums for clans and families, Quy came up with the idea of defrauding and appropriating property.
In June 2021, Quy received the construction of a cemetery area for Mr. NTT's family (residing at TDP3, Xuan An town) for 55 million VND. After completing the construction and handing over the cemetery area to Mr. T., Quy continued to sell that cemetery area to Ms. TTNA for 63 million VND.
Using the same trick, Quy used 4 other cemetery plots in Xuan An town, defrauding 8 people to appropriate more than 200 million VND.
Police said Quy had three previous convictions for "Theft of property", "Robbery" and "Intentional infliction of injury" and escaped from detention. The case is currently under further investigation.
