Woman 'boasts' of knowing Government leader, defrauds nearly 6 billion VND
"No" is a relative of a government leader, a 49-year-old woman in Ho Chi Minh City who promised to be able to handle job transfers, approve projects... to appropriate billions of dong from the victims.
On October 15, the Ho Chi Minh City Police Department announced that it had arrested and searched the residence of Tran Thi Hoi (49 years old, from Bac Lieu, residing in Tan Thuan Tay ward, district 7, Ho Chi Minh City) for the crime of "Fraudulent appropriation of property".

Previously, the Investigation Police Agency received and resolved a criminal complaint from Mr. VTV accusing the Association of fraud and property appropriation.
According to the police, in 2020, during the process of getting to know Mr. V., Hoi "boasted" that he was a relative of a government leader, and had helped many cases receive and approve projects, handle land disputes, transfer jobs...
From there, Mr. V. asked the Association to help influence some companies to get approval for wind power projects in Kon Tum province. This woman received 5 billion VND from Mr. V. with the promise to take care of the matter, but then used it for personal purposes.
Using the same trick, the Association received 400 million VND from the director of a real estate company in Binh Thuan province, promising to influence this company to soon have its documents approved and procedures for paying land fees to implement a residential area project in Long Thanh district, Dong Nai province.
In addition, Hoi also received 400 million VND from another man with the promise of finding him a job, but Hoi did not fulfill these promises.
