On the afternoon of December 25, after five days of trial and lengthy deliberation, the Hanoi City People’s Court convicted the seven defendants under the Viet Link Company.
Consequently, the court declared Le Xuan Giang, president of the company, life imprisonment for the crime of fraudulent appropriation of assets.
With the same crime above, Le Van Tu (general manager) was sentenced to 17 years in prison, Nguyen Thi Thuy (deputy general manager) to 18 years in prison.
The remaining defendants, Le Thanh Son, Trinh Xuan Sang, Nguyen Xuan Truong and Vu Thi Hong Dung (members of the development team), were sentenced to between 13 and 16 years in prison, respectively.
Regarding civil matters, the court forced Le Xuan Giang to compensate nearly 300 billion dong for more than 5,800 victims (information and address determined); at the same time, it will assume full civil responsibility for the remaining victims of the case. Giang’s six accomplices must jointly make up the remaining amount.
The Panel commented: Le Xuan Giang and the defendants built a multi-tier development model, paying the latter’s money to the former. The defendants also established and deployed 15 stimulus programs throughout the system. Taking advantage of the ignorance of some people, the defendants have built a multilevel chain that is fraudulent, harms many families and affects the reputation of the Vietnam People’s Army.
From March 2014 to November 2015, the defendants expanded their network, developed 30 branches in 27 cities and provinces, and earned more than 2 billion. After deducting the amounts, the VKS forced the defendants to take charge of the appropriate amount of $ 1.121 billion.
The number of people harmed in this line amounted to more than 68,000 people throughout the country. So far, authorities have only identified 6,053 damages, with the appropriate amount of more than 391 billion. Before being arrested, the defendants had committed acts of dispersal and destruction of documents and evidence.
The Panel said that the defendant Le Xuan Giang took advantage of the false label “a subsidiary of the Defense Ministry” and the team of the defendant Nguyen Thi Thu Thuy (former Deputy Director General), Nguyen Xuan Truong (member of the market group). to make presentations.
Listeners are tempted to “try”, “buy and try” Vietnam Link products. After that, the defendants used the “high commission” trick to pique the interest of the victim. Furthermore, Le Xuan Giang and his accomplices also prepared many forged certificates of merit, certificates of merit, and even forged certificates of merit from the Prime Minister to gain the trust of the victim.
