Prosecution of defendant Nguyen Phuong Hang and 4 accomplices
On August 18, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Procuracy completed the indictment and prosecuted Nguyen Phuong Hang (General Director of Dai Nam Joint Stock Company) and four accomplices before the People's Court of the same level.
Nguyen Phuong Hang's four accomplices include: Dang Anh Quan (PhD in Law, university lecturer), Nguyen Thi Mai Nhi (assistant to Nguyen Phuong Hang), Le Thi Thu Ha (employee of Dai Nam Joint Stock Company), and Huynh Cong Tan (Head of Communications Department of Dai Nam Joint Stock Company).
Previously, on May 31, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Court returned the case file to the People's Procuracy at the same level, requesting additional investigation into the contents related to whether or not the individual was an accomplice of Nguyen Phuong Hang, requesting clarification of the act showing signs of humiliation and slander of others according to Articles 155 and 156 of the Penal Code. During the additional investigation, the Ho Chi Minh City Police maintained their stance on the case according to the investigation conclusion.
According to the case file, from around March 2021, through social media accounts, Nguyen Phuong Hang organized many livestreams to directly speak about personal privacy and content that affected the reputation and honor of 10 individuals including: Mr. Vo Nguyen Hoai Linh (artist Hoai Linh), Ms. Nguyen Thi My Oanh (singer Vy Oanh), Ms. Dang Thi Han Ni (journalist, lawyer Han Ni), Mr. Huynh Minh Hung (singer Dam Vinh Hung), Ms. Tran Thi Thuy Tien (singer Thuy Tien) and her husband Le Cong Vinh, Mr. Nguyen Duc Hien (Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Ho Chi Minh City Law Newspaper), Ms. Dinh Thi Lan, Ms. Le Thi Giau, Ms. Truong Viet Ha.
The defendants Nguyen Thi Mai Nhi, Le Thi Thu Ha, and Huynh Cong Tan, although having no conflicts with the above individuals, because they were employees and received salaries from Nguyen Phuong Hang, continuously performed acts of active assistance for the defendant Hang.
In addition, to increase the credibility of her statements, Nguyen Phuong Hang invited Dang Anh Quan to participate in her livestreams. When defendant Hang made offensive statements to others, Dang Anh Quan interacted and made statements about related content. Defendant Dang Anh Quan contributed to defendant Hang committing crimes...
