According to the indictment, in 2018, Vinh knew Long, a police officer of La Khe Ward Police Station, who later transferred to work as a police officer of Phu Luong Ward Police Station. From this acquaintance, Vinh asked Long to forgetemporary residence book, temporary residence certificates certified by La Khe Ward Police and Phu Luong Ward Police for people who do not live in La Khe Ward and Phu Luong Ward to sell to Vinh for 800,000 VND per temporary residence book, 200,000 VND per temporary residence certificate.
From October 2018 to March 2019, Long forged 5 temporary residence books with confirmation stamps from La Khe Ward Police and sold them to Vinh for 800,000 VND each. Long forged 5 temporary residence certificates with confirmation stamps from La Khe Ward Police and Phu Luong Ward Police and sold them to Vinh for 200,000 VND each. Vinh sold 5 temporary residence books for 1.1 million VND each to an acquaintance (identity unknown), and 4 temporary residence certificates for between 700,000 VND and 1 million VND each. When Vinh was selling the 5th temporary residence certificate to a customer, he was discovered and confiscated by the police.
In addition, Vinh also forged a temporary residence certificate with confirmation from the Cu Khe Commune Police (Thanh Oai District, Hanoi) to sell for 700,000 VND.
Because the original copies of the three fake temporary residence certificates that Vinh had sold to customers could not be confiscated, the investigation agency determined that Long had forged seven documents, earning a profit of VND5 million; Vinh had forged eight documents, earning a profit of VND3.6 million. During the investigation, Vinh voluntarily returned the VND3.6 million illegally obtained profit.
Regarding the signatures of some leaders of La Khe Ward Police and Phu Luong Ward Police in the temporary residence book and temporary residence certificate, the investigation agency determined that those signatures and seals were made by Long. Therefore, there is no basis to prosecute these officials as accomplices with Long for the crime of falsifying documents of agencies and organizations.
