Dismantling a gambling ring for EURO 2024 season with more than 1,000 billion VND

The arrested subjects include Nguyen Huynh Van Doi (born in 1966), Tran Dinh Ba (born in 1958, all residing in Hai Chau district) and Doan Trong (born in 1965, residing in Son Tra district, Da Nang city).

Initial investigation results show that Nguyen Huynh Van Doi received a master account from subjects from other provinces, then divided it into many small accounts and, together with Ba and Trong, organized betting on domestic and international football matches. During the time when EURO 2024 is taking place enthusiastically on European football fields, this line attracts more and more gamblers.

However, the activities of the subjects have been targeted by the Criminal Police Team of Hai Chau District Police and the Cyber ​​Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention Department of Da Nang City Police.

With the support of the Department of Cyber ​​Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention (Ministry of Public Security), the detectives made efforts to infiltrate and collect information and documents related to the activities of the criminal group.

On the evening of June 20, realizing that the time was ripe, the Hai Chau District Police and the Department of Cyber ​​Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention of Da Nang City Police simultaneously raided many locations, catching many subjects in the act of gambling and organizing gambling. Through the search, the joint forces seized more than 15,000 pages of documents showing betting amounts of more than VND 1,000 billion and nearly VND 240 million in cash.

Immediately after that, Hai Chau District Police together with the Department of Cyber ​​Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention of Da Nang City Police sent a working group to the South, coordinating with Ho Chi Minh City Police to arrest 2 subjects who acted as the master account providers for Nguyen Huynh Van Doi.

The case is under further investigation.
