Hired people to make dozens of fake land use certificates for personal gain

On November 5, the Investigation Police Agency of Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province issued a decision to prosecute and temporarily detain Ta Thi Yen (66 years old, residing in Dan Phuong District, Hanoi) to continue investigating the act of forging seals and documents of agencies and organizations; using fake seals or documents of agencies and organizations.

According to initial investigation results, since 2019, Yen came to Ba Ria-Vung Tau province to buy land to build a house in Dong Nhan residential area, Kim Dinh ward, Ba Ria city.

Seeing that the land around her house was not being cultivated or used by anyone, even though she was not the owner and did not know who the landowner was, Yen contacted some people to find a way to legalize it and was instructed by these people to make a land use right certificate in the name of Yen and her daughter for the above land.

Defendant Ta Thi Yen confessed to investigators.

Although she clearly knew that the land was not hers and believed the promise of being able to make the documents, since the end of 2021, Yen signed many agreements to receive land documents and gave the subjects a total of more than 6 billion VND to make about 26-28 land use right certificates for about 4.5 hectares.

The number of fake documents seized.

After having the above land use right certificates made, Yen gave 11 to her daughter and 1 to a friend as collateral to borrow 1.1 billion VND. Yen brought 7 land use right certificates to contact the local authorities to request land leveling...

The case is currently being investigated and handled by the Investigation Police Agency of Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province according to regulations.
