Long Don town where the “messy” case occurred

According to Mr. Manh, the content of the press about the slow payment of money in the Dak Ang commune to the people is true. The total late payment to the commune by the commune exceeds 35.7 million VND. This is funding to support 5 households with dead cows in Long Don commune and dozens of households in Dak Brai villages, Dak R’me, whose crops were damaged by storm number 4 in 2018.

According to Mr. Manh, although after the press entered the meeting, the Dak Ang commune only brought money to pay the above amount to the people, but there were no signs of self-employment or theft.

“His commune said that they temporarily borrowed that money, advanced it to work for the commune, then returned it. Sometimes lend a little to each group. I mean, money is not taken away, it is not kept in your pocket. They only borrowed 20 million, and the teller didn’t spend 15 million because he was scared. It’s true that when the press comes, they will pay, ”Manh said.

According to Mr. Nguyen Chi Tuong, chairman of H. Nguyen People’s Committee, the district’s People’s Committee is currently awaiting CPC review and clarifying responsibilities. Once the results are available, it can be determined if the behavior of commune officials shows signs of stealing money from people.

There are signs of embezzlement

According to lawyer Le Van Hoan (Ho Chi Minh City Bar Association), the fact that Dak Ang Commune officials voluntarily “borrow” money from the state budget for grant recipients is a sign of “embezzlement”. property ”is regulated in article 353 of the Penal Code. Here, people who suffer from natural disasters receive support from the state. However, the state budget has been drawn up to pay people who suffer from natural disasters, but commune officials do not pay, but they are adequate.

In this case, the money from the state has not yet reached the legal recipients that it should have received, so, in theory, the state still owes them. Money from the state budget has been misused by administrators of offices and powers. The appropriation of that property is directly related to the position and powers of the offender. Those who support the crime can also be dealt with even if they have no office or power.

Criminal acts have been completed from the moment the offender withdraws money from the state treasury but does not put it into the agency fund. If the victim has only received support so far, it is only an extenuating circumstance, outweighing the consequences. Also, for this support payment, the interest rate from the time of withdrawal until now must be included according to the borrowing rate of commercial banks.

According to lawyer Duong Le Son (Dak Lak Province Bar Association), taking advantage of positions and powers, acting in contravention of public duties and withdrawing money from the budget has many signs of crime. It is necessary to investigate to determine who is the person who makes the record, who appropriated the money to handle it in accordance with the law.

As Youth On November 22, it was reported that in late 2018, the Nguyen Ngoc Hoi People’s Committee approved the list and support funding for households damaged by natural disasters in 2018. In which, the Dak Ang commune received 170 million by VND. After more than 2 years, the amount of support above is still not reaching the Long Don village people of this commune. After the media reported, an official from the commune came to each house to give money and said it was support money affected by natural disasters in 2018.
