Prosecution of commune officials for embezzling people's money
(Baonghean.vn) - The Investigation Police Agency (Quynh Luu District Police) has just issued a decision to prosecute the case and prosecute Phan Van Hung (born in 1984, residing in Quynh Thanh commune, Quynh Luu district) for the crime of "Abusing position and power to appropriate property".
Phan Van Hung is a Justice Officer working at the People's Committee of Quynh Thanh commune (Quynh Luu district, Nghe An), assigned to advise on inheritance rights at the commune committee.
From about March 2022 to July 2023, Hung exceeded his authority to appropriate people's property.
Although he had no authority to prepare documents requesting the issuance of new land use rights, Hung still “lied” to the people that he could do it. Believing Hung, the people handed over money and land titles to obtain new land use rights. After receiving the money, Hung spent it on personal expenses without completing the procedures as promised.
Initially, Quynh Luu District Police proved that Hung had committed 13 cases, embezzling nearly 200 million VND. The case is still under investigation.
