(Baonghean.vn) - Without a stable job, Lu Thi Xuyen, born in 1977, residing in Cha Nga village, My Ly commune, Ky Son district, listened to bad people to receive drugs to sell for profit.
On the morning of August 22, the People's Court of Ky Son district opened a first-instance trial for Lu Thi Xuyen, residing in Cha Nga village, My Ly commune, Ky Son district, for illegal drug trafficking.
According to the case file, in early March 2019, a man (Lao nationality) came to meet Xuyen to discuss providing drugs (pink pills) for Xuyen to sell to addicts. If the sale was successful, Xuyen would receive a commission of 20,000 VND per pill. Since Xuyen had no stable job, he agreed.
