Fraudulent sale of 'wild ducks' and appropriation of 23 billion VND
Nguyen Van Tua fraudulently sold nearly 20,000 square meters of land to Mr. Pham Minh Tuan and several other households and then appropriated over 23 billion VND.
On September 4, the Investigation Police Agency of Kien Giang Province Police said that the unit had just coordinated with the same-level Procuracy to issue a decision to prosecute the case, prosecute the accused and execute a 4-month temporary detention order against Nguyen Van Tua (born in 1980), residing in Vinh Quang Ward, Rach Gia City, Kien Giang Province (currently residing in An Thoi Ward, Phu Quoc City) for the crime offraud and appropriation of property.
According to the investigation results from May 2022 on March 18, 2023, Nguyen Van Tua sold nearly 20,000m2 (in Da Chong hamlet, Bai Thom commune, Phu Quoc city) managed by the People's Committee of Bai Thom commune, Phu Quoc city (by making a record) for Mr. Pham Minh Tuan (residing in Ho Chi Minh City) and a number of other households, then embezzled over 23 billion VND.
Previously, when selling the land to Mr. Tuan, Tua committed that the land was not in dispute, not seized, or confiscated... However, after receiving the transfer, Mr. Pham Minh Tuan came to receive the land and build a house, but was prevented and obstructed by others.
Later, Mr. Tuan learned that the land he had just bought was currently managed by the state and not owned by Tua or any other individual, so Mr. Tuan filed a complaint against Tua's fraudulent behavior with the police.
Searching Nguyen Van Tua's residence in Ward 4, An Thoi Ward, Phu Quoc City, the Police Agency seized many documents to serve the investigation.
