Searching for the leader of the 13 billion VND fraud group
This group of people committed fraud against many businesses by buying and selling invoices to appropriate nearly 13 billion VND. The leader then fled.
The Investigation Police Agency of Binh Duong Province said that this unit has just issued a wanted notice for Nguyen Cong Hung (born 1988, residing in Ho Chi Minh City) to investigate the act of fraud and property appropriation.

According to the initial investigation of the police agency, around November 2020, Le Minh Tri (Director of Hiep Phat Electrical Construction Trading Company Limited) and a man commonly known as Chung Khoi (unknown background) contacted and asked Mr. TGN to issue 2 fake value-added invoices (VAT invoices) for Hiep Phat Company worth nearly 1.2 billion VND, Mr. N was promised to receive 30 million VND in "commission".
Then, Tri asked Mr. N to bring money to a bank transaction office in Lai Thieu ward (Thuan An city, Binh Duong province) to deposit money into Hiep Phat Company's account, and at the same time make a payment authorization to transfer the above amount to this company's account.
However, while waiting for the bank to transfer money according to the payment order, Tri and Hung's group used internet banking to transfer the above amount out of Hiep Phat Company's account, causing the bank to be unable to carry out the payment order transaction.
After appropriating the above amount of money, the group cut off contact with Mr. N. Using the same method, the subjects committed 6 cases of fraud in buying and selling fake value-added invoices and lending to banks, appropriating nearly 13 billion VND from businesses and individuals. Hung was identified as the leader of the fraud group but has since fled.
The remaining subjects, Le Minh Tri and Le Minh Truyen, were arrested by the police.
