Among them, Le Van Tho was sentenced to death, Tran Thi Kim Ung was sentenced to 18 years in prison for illegal drug trafficking. However, Tran Thi Kim Ung was given a suspended sentence because she was raising a child under 36 months old.

Taking advantage of the law, Tran Thi Kim Ung continued to engage in illegal drug trafficking, transportation, and storage with her husband Hoang Van Kien (born in 1989).

After verifying and clarifying the related links in the chain, with the spirit of determined attack and suppression of crime, Department PC47 reported to the Director of the City Police, Deputy Director, Head of the City Police Investigation Agency to establish a special investigation project, coordinate with professional units of the City Police, Customs Control Team - Hai Phong Customs Department to strengthen forces, synchronously implement professional measures, determined to eradicate the above criminal gang.
