Nghe An: Impersonating to cheat people into getting benefits for war invalids, appropriating hundreds of millions of dong
(Baonghean.vn) - After picking up a book of war invalids' benefits, Le impersonated the person in the book and began to carry out a plan to receive documents to restore the cut-off benefits for the people. Le cheated 8 people in Yen Thanh district and took 160 million VND.
On January 24, the Investigation Police Agency of Yen Thanh District Police announced that this unit has just issued a decision to prosecute the case and prosecute the accused Nguyen Ngoc Le (born in 1950, residing in Hamlet 5, Tan Son Commune, Quynh Luu District) to investigate the crime of "Fraudulent appropriation of property".
According to the Investigation Agency's documents, in early November 2018, Yen Thanh District Police received a criminal complaint from many residents of Xuan Thanh Commune, Yen Thanh District, about a man named Nguyen Van Giang (residing in Hamlet 15, Tan Son Commune, Quynh Luu District) who defrauded them of their property by using the trick of running a war invalid regime for those who had just had their payment cut off.

According to the victims, knowing that Mr. Tran Van Ngoan (resident of hamlet 9, Xuan Thanh commune, Yen Thanh district) previously enjoyed war invalid benefits but was later cut off, and now Mr. Ngoan wants to supplement his records to restore the benefits he is entitled to, Nguyen Van Giang approached Mr. Ngoan.
Giang claimed to be a war invalid and was acquainted with an officer of the Policy Department - Nghe An Provincial Military Command and could "run" to restore benefits for Mr. Ngoan.
To gain Mr. Ngoan's trust, the subject also showed him the policy and regime book under the name Nguyen Van Giang. Mr. Ngoan believed the subject's words were true and asked Giang to help him, provide documents to run the regime, and restore the policy that the war invalids enjoyed as before.
Mr. Ngoan also instructed 7 other people in Xuan Thanh commune to ask Giang to run the disabled soldier regime. In each case, Giang required a decision to leave the army and 10 million VND as initial costs.
After a while, Giang asked each person to pay an additional 10 million VND to receive the Decision as previously agreed. After the victims paid the full amount, Giang gave each person a copy of the Decision on receiving war invalid benefits. After receiving the decision, they waited for a long time without receiving any notification of the benefits being granted. Everyone tried to contact Giang but could not reach him.
Upon receiving the complaint, Yen Thanh District Police took statements from the victims and verified the evidence. However, when working with the police, Mr. Nguyen Van Giang said that he had lost his war invalids' benefits book since 2012 and was not the one who received the war invalids' benefits for the people in Xuan Thanh commune as reported.
Through professional measures, the investigation agency clarified that the person impersonating Mr. Giang was Nguyen Ngoc Le (residing in Hamlet 5, Tan Son Commune, Quynh Luu District). Afterwards, Le was issued an emergency arrest warrant by the Yen Thanh District Police Department.
Le confessed that after picking up Mr. Nguyen Van Giang's pension book, he got acquainted with people who wanted to receive pension benefits, then used Mr. Giang's pension book.
Le covered the name of the book owner to photocopy and insert the names of those who used the disabled soldier regime and then sent the decision to everyone. After completing the act, he changed the SIM card and phone number to avoid asking for money from the victims. The total amount of money the subject appropriated was more than 160 million VND.
Yen Thanh District Police are completing the case file to handle the subject according to the provisions of law.
