Creating the cover of a successful businessman, a man in Vinh City defrauded and appropriated more than 1.5 billion VND.
(Baonghean.vn) - By creating the cover of a successful businessman, "bragging" about having wide connections and being able to find jobs, Phan Thai Hoan defrauded and appropriated money from victims to the amount of more than 1.5 billion VND.
From the beginning of December 2023 until now, Vinh City Police have continuously received complaints from citizens from Thanh Chuong, Do Luong, Tuong Duong, Nghi Loc districts and Vinh City about the content of Phan Thai Hoan (born in 1984), residing in Hung Loc commune, Vinh City, committing fraud and appropriating property.
Determining that the incident occurred in many areas, affecting the reputation of state agencies, causing public outrage, Vinh City Police established a special project to focus on fighting and clarifying.
During the investigation, Vinh City Police determined that in 2018, Phan Thai Hoan opened the “Sao Nghe” store at 158 Le Viet Thuat, Vinh City to provide food and entertainment services. During that time, Hoan rented an expensive car, creating for himself a perfect cover as a successful businessman. During his social interactions, Hoan boasted that he had a wide network of connections, was able to “transfer jobs from mountainous districts to plain districts and Vinh City”, and “apply for jobs” at schools and government agencies.
When the victims trusted him, Phan Thai Hoan asked the victims to give him a personal profile and a deposit of about 100 million to 500 million VND. After receiving the victims' deposits, Phan Thai Hoan used them to pay off debts and personal expenses, then fled the area.
Synchronously deploying professional measures, on January 6, 2024, Vinh City Police successfully broke the case, arresting Phan Thai Hoan while he was hiding at a motel in Dich Vong ward, Cau Giay district, Hanoi.
Through initial investigation, Vinh City Police clarified that, using the above methods and tricks, Phan Thai Hoan committed 5 fraud cases to appropriate property with a total amount of more than 1.5 billion VND.
Currently, the Vinh City Police Investigation Agency has initiated a case, prosecuted the accused, and temporarily detained Phan Thai Hoan for fraud and property appropriation.
