During the period from 2014 to 2018, the subjects fraudulently introduced themselves as acquaintances of leaders of the Nghe An Department of Health so that they could "get jobs" on long-term contracts or on the payroll at hospitals in Nghe An province to appropriate money from the victims.

The investigation agency determined that Ngo Thi Oanh had committed 10 frauds with a total amount of more than 2.7 billion VND. Of which, Nguyen Thi Hang committed 6 frauds, appropriating 420 million VND, Nguyen Thi Thuy committed 1 fraud, appropriating 210 million VND. Among the victims, the person who was defrauded the most money was Ms. Doan Thi LN with an amount of more than 1.1 billion VND.

After being prosecuted, Ngo Thi Oanh returned nearly 800 million VND to the victims.

Before this trial, on November 25, the provincial court brought the three defendants to trial. However, during the debate, Ngo Thi Oanh asked the court to give her more time to remedy the consequences for the victims. Therefore, the court decided to temporarily suspend the trial.

At this trial, the victims said they had not received any compensation from the defendant Oanh. Meanwhile, the defendant Thuy had recovered all the money she had appropriated from the victims.

In the witness stand, defendant Oanh denied her crime, claiming that she had successfully found jobs for 2 cases. The remaining cases agreed to switch from running errands to borrowing money. However, the victims said that no one had found a job as defendant Oanh said. There were 2 victims who had been apprentices at the Nghe An Hematology and Blood Transfusion Center, but they had to pay for a short period of time and have now quit their jobs.

The panel of judges determined that the defendants’ fraudulent behavior violated the law. Considering the case in its entirety, the court sentenced Ngo Thi Oanh to 10 years in prison, Nguyen Thi Hang to 3 years in prison, and Nguyen Thi Thuy to 15 months in prison, but with a suspended sentence, for the crime of “fraudulent appropriation of property.”
