'Bragging' about knowing the boss to receive 15 billion VND in protection for land sale
On June 26, the police agency issued a decision to prosecute and temporarily detain Tang Tan Dat (born 1984) to investigate the act of "Fraudulent appropriation of property".
According to the resultsinvestigate: Tang Tan Dat (residing in Cua Lap hamlet, Duong To commune, Phu Quoc city, Kien Giang province) and Dang Van Linh have known each other since 2015. In 2021, Linh, along with Le Minh Diep, Dang Van Hung and Nguyen Van Nguyen, colluded to establish LHD Investment and Development Consulting Company Limited (abbreviated as LHD Company), collecting agricultural land, occupying forest land, illegally establishing residential area projects, dividing plots, and selling land to many people for illegal profits of large sums of money.
Dat told Linh's group that he had a relationship with local leaders, so when LHD Company divided and sold land plots illegally, Dat proactively asked Linh and Diep's group to transfer money to Dat many times to "take care" of the leaders to help divide and sell land plots without being handled for violations.
From 2021 to 2022, Diep and Linh transferred a total of more than 15 billion VND to Dat. After receiving the money, Dat did not fulfill his commitment but appropriated and used it for personal purposes.
Regarding the case, Kien Giang Provincial Police have prosecuted and temporarily detained 12 subjects involved in the acts of "Fraudulent appropriation of property" and "Receiving bribes".
