At the beginning of the response, the representative of VKS confirmed that he had heard all the opinions of the defense lawyers and defendants.
The state has property rights
One of the issues raised by the attorney is that when Cuu Long Corporation transfers the right to collect fees to Yen Khanh Company, is the amount of the collection owned by the Yen Khanh Company or owned by the State?
In debating and responding, the VKS said that according to Articles 197 and 198 of the Civil Code of 2005, public property, including transport infrastructure, is owned by the State, owned by the State. .
The collection of fees from this project is a source of revenue for the state budget. The State has ownership of the revenue even though it has transferred to Yen Khanh Company the right to collect fees for a period of 5 years from 1-1-2014 to 1-1-2019.
The contract for the sale of toll rights between Cuu Long Corporation and Yen Khanh Company does not include the transfer of state ownership. Yen Khanh Company is only obliged to organize the collection in accordance with the regulations.
On the acts of appropriation of the accused Dinh Ngoc System
VKS believes that the defendant Dinh Ngoc System has committed a number of deceptive acts from the beginning, including tricks using high technology to seize state property.
