Young man uses tricks to embezzle more than 5 billion VND from a business
After being assigned as deputy head of the business team, Nguyen Anh Su used tricks to embezzle more than 5 billion VND from the company and "burned" it all into "virtual money".
On June 3, the Hanoi People's Court sentenced defendant Nguyen Anh Su (born 1992, in Thanh Tri) to 17 years in prison for the crime ofEmbezzlementproperty, according to point a, clause 4, article 533 of the Penal Code.
The allegation is that Sebang Battery Vina Co., Ltd., headquartered in Dong Nai province, has a representative office located in Dong Anh, Hanoi. The head of the representative office in Hanoi is Mr. LKJ (born in 1967, Korean nationality).
In 2021, this company recruited Nguyen Anh Su to work at the Hanoi Representative Office, assigned as Deputy Head of Sales Team.
Nguyen Anh Su was assigned many tasks, including directly managing the business of forklift batteries; customers' debts and managing goods in the warehouse, invoicing, sales, shipping and transportation.
The allegation is that, since April 2021, due to being directly in charge of inventory import and export and the sales pressure of the assigned company, defendant Su had the idea of creating a number of fake battery sales invoices to report to the company the achieved sales.
In order to have information to create fake sales invoices, Su took data from the company's list of agents and customers. The type and quantity of batteries listed on the invoice were based on the company's data and the actual inventory at the warehouse.
In the fake invoices, Su did not include the email address or wrote the wrong email address of the purchasing unit so that the company could not check and detect.
From April 23, 2021 to June 27, 2022, the defendant created 58 false sales invoices showing that he had sold 2,072 batteries of various types to 18 dealers with a total value of goods recorded in the invoice of more than VND 6.9 billion (including VAT).
Due to creating fake invoices without shipping the goods, the actual number of batteries in stock increased. From here, Su continued to have the idea of appropriating these batteries.
Based on the information recorded on the fake invoice, the defendant created fake documents and completed procedures to receive batteries from the company's warehouse. Then, the subject sold them to agents and customers of Sebang Battery Vina Company at prices 8-10% lower than the listed price to get money for personal expenses.
According to the accusation, the defendant gave false information to the dealers that Sebang Battery Vina Company had a policy of exchanging old batteries for new batteries; the company imported old batteries at a price of 18,000 - 23,000 VND/old battery. After collecting old batteries from dealers and customers, Su sold them as scrap for spending money.
The results of the investigation, comparison of documents and books tracking imported and exported batteries determined that from May 4, 2021 to July 16, 2022, Nguyen Anh Su appropriated a total of 1,839 new batteries of various types from Sebang Battery Vina Company with a total value of more than 5.2 billion VND.
Su sold and exchanged the stolen batteries with 6 agents and 3 individuals to illegally earn more than 3.8 billion VND. The defendant transferred more than 293 million VND to the company, and used the rest for playing "virtual money" and personal expenses.
Up to now, the company has requested the defendant to pay back more than 4.9 billion VND.
