According to the police: Since the beginning of 2020, Lam and his juniors have organized gambling activities in Ho Chi Minh City. Every day, Lam only assigns his trusted juniors to receive bets from lower-level agents. Specifically, at noon every day, this group receives betting data via Viber, Zalo messages... In the afternoon, they enter the data into the software to calculate the winnings and losses, then send someone to deliver and receive the money.

Evidence of the case.

In just a few months, this gambling ring directly made and lost up to 300 billion VND. After deducting the compensation costs for the agents, the Lam brothers illegally profited several billion VND. After a period of active surveillance, Department 4 of the Criminal Police Department reported the activities of this gambling ring to Major General Tran Ngoc Ha - Director of the Criminal Police Department and Colonel Le Ngoc Phuong - Deputy Director of the Criminal Police Department to ask for advice on how to destroy it.

Through searching the suspects' residences in Ho Chi Minh City, the police seized more than a billion VND in cash, thousands of lottery tickets, books, phones, machines and other documents and evidence related to gambling activities.

Currently, the Criminal Police Department is summoning subjects related to the case to clarify the activities of the gambling ring.
