Authorities dismantled a ring that organized the illegal entry and exit of numerous people for gambling purposes.
On the afternoon of December 6th, the Security Investigation Agency of the An Giang Provincial Police announced that they had successfully dismantled a ring that organized the illegal entry and exit of many people between Vietnam and the Kingdom of Cambodia for gambling purposes.
After a period of implementing operational measures and monitoring the situation, at approximately 2:10 PM on December 5th, the Security Investigation Department of the An Giang Provincial Police, in coordination with other professional departments and the An Phu District Police, conducted a stakeout and caught Le Phuoc Luong (born in 1990) and Nguyen Viet Phuong (born in 1985), both residing in Khanh An commune, An Phu district, An Giang province, red-handed while they were organizing the illegal entry of Nguyen Thanh Vinh (born in 1987) and Nguyen Thi Hoa (born in 1981, both residing in An Hoa hamlet, Khanh An commune, An Phu district) from Cambodia into the An Hoa hamlet area, Khanh An commune, An Phu district.
Later, Vo Van Son (born in 1972, residing in the local area) turned himself in to the police.
Initial investigations have determined that this is a network smuggling people across Vietnam and Cambodia illegally to participate in gambling dens and cockfighting organized by Vietnamese individuals in collusion on Cambodian territory bordering Vietnam.
These individuals operate day and night, organizing large-scale cross-border gambling activities over extended periods, disrupting security and order in the border area and causing public outrage.
The Security Investigation Agency of the An Giang Provincial Police is currently holding Le Phuoc Luong, Nguyen Viet Phuong, and Vo Van Son in custody for further investigation into the crime of "Organizing illegal entry and exit for others." The An Giang Provincial Police urge all involved individuals to surrender quickly to receive leniency from the law.
