Former Bank employee defrauded 14 billion VND
By providing false information about needing money to pay off a bank loan, Nguyen Van Ton borrowed and appropriated more than 14 billion VND.
The Investigation Police Agency of Kon Tum Province has just issued Decisions to prosecute the case, prosecute the accused, and temporarily detain Nguyen Van Ton, born in 1991, residing in Group 5, Truong Chinh Ward, Kon Tum City, for the crime of "Fraudulent appropriation of property".
According to investigation documents, since 2016, Nguyen Van Ton borrowed money to invest in business but suffered losses and lost the ability to repay the debt.
By 2022, in order to have money to pay off previous loans, Ton (then Deputy Head of Transaction Department of the bank) provided false information that he needed money to pay off bank loans to customers.
Because they trusted the information that Ton provided, the 4 victims lent money to Ton. After receiving the loans, Ton did not use them to pay off bank debts for customers as Ton had provided, but used them to pay off debts for others and for personal consumption. Ton appropriated a total of more than 14 billion VND from the victims.
The case is under further investigation.
