Previously, Anh Son District Police had received a criminal complaint from the People's Procuracy of Anh Son District regarding the illegal acts of Vi Thi Hoa, a teacher at Dinh Son Secondary School. Through many professional measures, the Investigation Police Agency of Anh Son District Police had collected sufficient documents and evidence to prove that: Ms. Vi Thi Hoa, by introducing herself as having relationships and acquaintances with leaders at all levels, ministries and branches, tricked the victims into applying for jobs in state agencies.

With the above trick, in May 2016, Vi Thi Hoa tricked Tran Thi Sen, daughter of Tran Kim An, residing in Lien Chung hamlet, Phong Thinh commune (Thanh Chuong district) into getting a job at Phong Thinh commune kindergarten for 150 million VND. In addition, Vi Thi Hoa also introduced herself as an acquaintance of someone working at the Ministry of Public Security and continued to apply for a job for Tran Kim Sang, son of Tran Kim An, to get a job and go to study in the police force for 350 million VND. The total amount that Mr. An transferred to Vi Thi Hoa to apply for a job and transfer the staff for the 2 children was 350 million VND.

During the investigation, the Investigation Police Agency continued to receive complaints from Mr. Thai Ba Ninh, Cung Dinh Thao and Ms. Thai Thi An. Accordingly, in mid-May 2017, Vi Thi Hoa accepted a job offer for Mr. Thai Ba Ninh's daughter (Yen Thanh district) to teach at Tan Thanh Commune Kindergarten (Yen Thanh) for 150 million VND; Hoa received 160 million VND from Mr. Cung Dinh Thao in Tho Bang village, Duc Thanh commune (Yen Thanh) to apply for a job for Mr. Thao's wife, Ms. Tran Thi Thom, to teach at Duc Thanh Commune Kindergarten.

Also using the trick of job fraud, Vi Thi Hoa received 200 million VND from Ms. Thai Thi An, residing in village 4, Dien Lam commune (Dien Chau) to apply for a job for Ms. An's daughter to work at the Department of Natural Resources and Environment of Thai Hoa town.

Through the investigation, the police agency verified that the victims' accusations were true. After receiving the money to get the job, Vi Thi Hoa could not do it but did not return the money to the victims but spent it on personal expenses.

With the collected evidence, on September 22, 2017, the Investigation Police Agency of Anh Son District Police initiated a case and prosecuted Vi Thi Hoa (born in 1972), residing in Cay Chanh village, Dinh Son, Anh Son for the act of "fraudulent appropriation of property". On September 26, the police agency also executed an arrest warrant and temporarily detained this subject.

The case is currently being further investigated and handled by the Investigation Police Agency in accordance with the provisions of law.
