Two death sentences for transnational drug ring
(Baonghean.vn) - While carrying 20 heroin cakes and nearly 5 kg of crystal meth from the Vietnam - Laos border down to the South to sell, Nguyen Van Dong and Nguyen Huu Trinh were arrested by Nghe An police.
On the afternoon of September 27, the Provincial People's Court opened a first-instance criminal trial of defendants Nguyen Van Dong (born in 1979), residing in Nghia My commune, Thai Hoa town, and Nguyen Huu Trinh (born in 1986, residing in Nghia Hanh commune, Tan Ky district) for the crime of illegal drug trafficking.

According to the indictment, with the purpose of trafficking drugs for profit, Dong and Trinh contacted a man named Hoang (Lao nationality) to discuss buying 20 heroin cakes (priced at 150 million VND/cake) and 1 kg of crystal meth (priced at 11,000 USD).
After agreeing on the purchase and delivery location, on January 30, Dong drove Trinh to Na Ngoi commune (Ky Son) to receive 20 heroin cakes (weighing nearly 6.9 kg) and 5 packages of crystal meth (nearly 4.9 kg) from Hoang's henchmen. When riding the motorbike to Luu Kien commune (Tuong Duong), he was discovered and arrested by the police.
At the trial, the two defendants admitted their crimes and asked for leniency from the law.
Considering the large amount of drugs that the defendants bought and sold, their behavior was especially dangerous, and they needed to be permanently eliminated from society, the People's Court sentenced Nguyen Van Dong and Nguyen Huu Trinh to death.
