'Blazing' about knowing the Provincial Police Director to cheat and get a sentence

The Investigation Police Agency of Gia Lai Province Police has just caught a female subject receiving money to "run the case”.

The incident occurred at around 3:30 p.m. on June 24, 2021, at a coffee shop in alley 338 Truong Chinh (Tra Ba ward, Pleiku city, Gia Lai).

Here, the Investigation Police Agency of Gia Lai Province Police caught Nguyen Thi Thao (born in 1989, residing in Group 1, Chi Lang Ward, Pleiku City) red-handed while she was receiving 115 million VND in "fixing" money.

Previously, from June 10, 2021, this unit received a petition from 4 citizens denouncing Nguyen Thi Thao. According to the petition, Thao often bragged about her acquaintances with the Director of the Provincial Police Department, the Chief Prosecutor of the Provincial People's Procuracy, the Chief Justice of the Provincial People's Court, and leaders of the Ministry of Public Security, the Supreme People's Procuracy... who could "fix the case" for the defendants being prosecuted by the investigation agency.

Thao boasted that he could help the defendants' families reduce their death sentences, prison sentences to suspended sentences, or acquit them, with the purpose of receiving money from the defendants' families and then embezzling it.

Nguyen Thi Thao was caught red-handed with the money she swindled to "fix the case".

Immediately after receiving the complaint, the Investigation Police Agency of Gia Lai Provincial Police investigated and arrested the above subject.

At the police station, Thao initially admitted to providing false information to defraud a woman in La Grai district in order to appropriate a total of 230 million VND from the victim.

It is known that Thao has a previous conviction for theft of property. In 2018, he was sentenced to 33 months in prison by the People's Court of Pleiku City. He continued to commit crimes after being released from prison.
