As Online youth He reported that the investigative police body of the Ministry of Public Security issued the conclusion of the investigation of the case of violation of the regulations on the management and use of State property, causing loss, waste and irresponsibility, causing serious consequences. The importance occurred in phase 2 of the production expansion project: TISCO and several related units.

This is the case of the Central Steering Committee for anti-corruption monitoring and direction.

Thai Nguyen Iron and Steel Factory used to be considered “the leading wing of the Vietnamese metallurgical industry”, but in the expansion stage of the project, despite billions of VND being invested, this place is still just iron blocks. Lying alone with the rain and the sun for decades.

According to the documents and records provided by TISCO and certified by the Vietnam Registry, many types of equipment and machinery provided by China Metalurgical Construction Group Company (MCC) with great value have great differences. specifications, type, origin, supplier’s name, specifications, tonnage … tThe total value of these devices, according to the import invoice, is almost 39 million dollars.

However, TISCO did not request re-export, a fine for infringement, but also did the paperwork to receive.

The test results determined that 42 cars worth more than $ 1 million were imported, there were differences in the rates between the TISCO files requesting registration and the inspection results of the Registration Department.

As a general rule, these 42 cars cannot participate in road traffic. And TISCO had to “circumvent” by submitting a written request to the Registration Department for these cars to “run only in a narrow range” for production on the company’s internal technology lines and not in traffic.

Likewise, 5 locomotives worth more than 5 million dollars with different parameters and loads were imported. The Registration Department informed TISCO that 2 locomotives cannot operate on the national rail network. TISCO continues to recommend that 2 locomotives be operated internally.

There are also imported machines and equipment with a total value of 31.5 million dollars with differences in codes, specifications …

According to the conclusion of the investigation, C03 has applied in writing to the Property Valuation Council of the Thai Nguyen Province People’s Committee to value the ownership of 42 cars of all types and 5 diesel locomotives of all types.

The Thai Nguyen Provincial People’s Committee has established an assessment council in criminal proceedings. However, after 6 months of making the valuation, this unit issued a written refusal to carry out the valuation, due to insufficient reasons, rationale, information and conditions for the valuation.

The investigating body has then sent a written request to the Ministry of Transport for the creation of a council for the evaluation of the mentioned equipment.

However, the Ministry of Transport also responded in writing that there is not enough information and basis to make the assessment, saying that the police agency’s request for investigation is “beyond the scope of the professional knowledge of a member of the Valuation Council of the Ministry of Transport “.

Regarding personal responsibility in the ministries, relevant agencies, the investigation concludes that in the project implementation process there are some indications of violation that essentially violate the regulations on investment in construction. Construction works and other errors.

However, the evaluation agency has not reached conclusions about the violations and the harm of these violations. The investor and the contractor have not fully resolved the contractual disputes and the competent authority has not made a final decision on the project.

Because the investigation time limit has expired, after concluding the investigation of the C03 case, it will continue to collect relevant documents and evidence for its handling in accordance with the regulations.
