Accordingly, around May 2022, Mr. QV had a need to buy land in Nghia Lam commune, Nghia Dan district, Nghe An province. Through some real estate brokers, Mr. QV learned about 7 plots of land in Nghia Lam commune, Nghia Dan district owned by Mai Xuan Dieu and his wife and decided to complete the procedures to buy the above plots of land. During the price negotiation process, Mr. QV agreed to buy back 7 plots of land from Mai Xuan Dieu for 3,920,000,000 VND.

After completing the payment, on May 26, 2022, the couple Mai Xuan Dieu and Ho Thi Thanh Hoa and Mr. QV signed a contract to transfer land use rights for 7 plots of land. All 7 contracts were notarized by a notary public. At the same time, the couple Mai Xuan Dieu and Ho Thi Thanh Hoa scheduled to complete the name change procedures by June 20, 2022 and will hand over the above plots of land and the Land Use Rights Certificate to Mr. QV.

However, after that, Mai Xuan Dieu and his wife still did not fulfill their commitment. For a long time, Mr. QV continuously called and texted Mai Xuan Dieu to fulfill his commitment to hand over the land plots with the Land Use Rights Certificate or pay the debt, but Mai Xuan Dieu and his wife continued to promise but did not fulfill, even turned off their phones and avoided meeting Mr. QV. Realizing that Mai Xuan Dieu and his wife continued to break their promises many times, Mr. QV suspected that these subjects had transferred the above 7 land plots to others.

During the investigation, the police determined that Mai Xuan Dieu, as the Director of Phoenix Real Estate Investment and Construction Joint Stock Company (located in Dien Chau town, Dien Chau district, Nghe An province), had organized the purchase of land from many people, then carried out procedures to divide the land into lots, separate the plots and resell them. However, after receiving the transfer money from customers, Mai Xuan Dieu did not fulfill his commitment but continued to resell it to others to appropriate the victims' money.
