Cheating to get a job in the police force, U70 gets sentenced
(Baonghean.vn) - On January 17, the People's Court of Nghe An province held a first-instance trial of Nguyen Duy Hung (68 years old), residing in Xuan Lam commune, Nam Dan district, for the crimes of "Fraudulent appropriation of property" and "Using fake documents of agencies and organizations".
According to the indictment of the People's Procuracy of Nghe An province, due to needing money for personal expenses, in early 2013, Hung told Mrs. Th. (residing in Vinh city) that he could apply for a quota to recruit people who studied outside the industry to work in the police force. Hearing that, Mrs. Th. asked Hung to apply for her daughter to work as an accountant in the police force. Hung said the cost of applying for people who studied outside the industry to work at the 30-4 Hospital of the Ministry of Public Security was 370 million VND.
Between February 5 and July 25, 2013, Ms. Th. transferred a total of 300 million VND to Hung many times. After each time receiving money, Hung wrote a loan or receipt for Ms. Th.
At the end of October 2013, Hung called Mrs. Th. to take her daughter to the 19/8 Hospital of the Ministry of Public Security (Hanoi) for a medical examination.
On November 15, 2013, Hung said that the wife of a provincial police chief was sick and needed 200 million VND to solve a problem. Thinking it was real, Mrs. Th. and her husband brought Hung the money.
In early 2014, Hung brought to Mrs. Th.'s house the decision of the General Department of Logistics and Technology on temporary recruitment of staff, recruiting Mrs. Th.'s daughter to work at Hospital 30-4, starting from February 20, 2014. However, on February 19, 2014, Hung called again to ask for Mrs. Th.'s daughter to work at Nghe An Provincial Police to be closer to home and asked for an additional 320 million VND. After giving Hung a total of 820 million VND but her daughter was not recruited into the industry, Mrs. Th. asked for the money back but Hung did not return it.
On November 13, 2017, Ms. Th. reported Hung's actions to the police. On June 5, 2023, Nguyen Duy Hung was arrested.
The police investigation agency verified the temporary recruitment decision of the General Department of Logistics and Technology of the Ministry of Public Security that Hung gave to Ms. Th. The results showed that this decision was fake, the seal and signature on it were created by photocopying.
Nguyen Duy Hung said that this temporary recruitment decision was given to him by a man named T. Hung did not know that this was a fake document.
During the investigation, Nguyen Duy Hung influenced the family to sell the land to repay the entire amount to Ms. Th. The victim also asked for a reduced sentence for the defendant Hung.
Considering the case comprehensively, the People's Court sentenced Nguyen Duy Hung to 10 years in prison for fraud and appropriation of property, and 3 years in prison forUsing fake documents of organizations. In total, defendant Hung must serve a sentence of 13 years in prison.
