Fraudulently "fixing a case", appropriating 2.5 billion VND
Believing in Liu’s words, some of the defendants’ family members gave Liu 2.5 billion VND many times to help him get his sentence reduced or get him released on bail. However, after receiving the money, Liu did not keep his promise and instead appropriated it for personal use.
On April 1, the Criminal Police Department of Thua Thien Hue Provincial Police cracked down on a case and arrested Nguyen Van Luu (born in 1994, residing in Phong Dien district, Thua Thien Hue) for the act of "Fraudulent appropriation of property”.
According to the initial investigation, after learning about the relationships of the relatives of the defendants being investigated and prosecuted for illegal acts, Luu "bragged" to these people that he had relationships with the authorities and could "lobby" to get sentences reduced for the defendants.
Believing in Luu's words, some of the defendant's family members gave Luu 2.5 billion VND many times to help him get his sentence reduced or to get him released on bail (instead of being detained). However, after receiving the 2.5 billion VND, Luu did not keep his promise and instead appropriated it for personal use.
Some victims, after giving money to Luu for a long time without any results, met Luu to ask for their money back, but Luu did not agree.
After receiving the victim's report, the Criminal Police Department of Thua Thien Hue Province Police urgently investigated, assigned a working group to verify and arrest Nguyen Van Luu while he was hiding in Ho Chi Minh City.
Through verification, the amount of 2.5 billion VND that Luu appropriated from the victims was used for personal purposes. In addition, through initial investigation, Luu was not close to the authorities as the subject "bragged" to the victims.
Currently, the case is being further investigated by the Investigation Police Agency of Thua Thien Hue Province.
