According to the indictment, around September 2014, defendant Nguyen Anh Ngoc (40 years old, residing in Thanh Phuoc commune, Go Dau district) knew that Ms. Phan Thi Hien (60 years old, residing in the same Go Dau district) wanted to extend the labor export contract for her child to continue staying in Korea.

Ngoc lied to Mrs. Hien that he had prepared documents for many people to work abroad. Because of her trust, Mrs. Hien gave Ngoc a total of 170 million VND to take care of.

While discussing the procedures for extending the labor contract, defendant Ngoc knew that Ms. Hien needed a land use right certificate, so he promised to make it for her for 50 million VND. Upon receiving the two amounts, defendant Ngoc made a receipt but did not fulfill his promise.

Around May 2015, defendant Ngoc learned that Mr. Ly Van Thanh (60 years old, residing in Long Thanh district, Dong Nai province) had come to Tay Ninh to find a lawyer to protect the rights of his younger brother because he was detained by Tay Ninh police to investigate human trafficking.

Ngoc promised Mr. Thanh that he would introduce a defense lawyer to get him the lowest sentence or a suspended sentence for 190 million VND. However, Ngoc did not hire a defense lawyer or fix the case as promised, but instead embezzled all of the money.

With the above trick, in July 2015, defendant Ngoc continued to appropriate 110 million VND from Ms. Nguyen Thanh Thuy (62 years old, residing in Tay Ninh city, Tay Ninh province), by promising to prepare labor cooperation documents to Taiwan for relatives.

In total, defendant Ngoc appropriated 520 million VND from the three victims, with the promise to carry out procedures for foreign labor cooperation, procedures for granting land use right certificates and to take care of the case, but in fact he did not do so, but mainly defrauded the victims to get money to spend./.
