On September 17, the People's Court of Ke Sach district (Soc Trang province) opened a mobile court to hear the first instance criminal case against two defendants, Dang Van Vu (born in 1993) and Duong Trieu Di (born in 2001 - both residing in An Hoa hamlet, An Lac Tay commune, Ke Sach district, Soc Trang province) for the crime of "Organizing illegal use of narcotics".
According to the indictment, at around 12:00 on May 27, 2024, Dang Van Vu drove a motorbike from the house of Mr. N.C.T (Vu's uncle) in An Hoa hamlet, An Lac Tay commune (Ke Sach district, Soc Trang province) to Duong Trieu Di's house to invite him to buy drugs for use.
Vu gave 200,000 VND and asked Di to drive Vu to Mr. T's house, while Di drove across Cai Con bridge to Chau Thanh district (Hau Giang province) to buy drugs from a young man (name and address unknown) for 200,000 VND.
After buying drugs, returning to Mr. T's house, Di and Vu used them together and were caught red-handed by the police.
The trial panel determined that the above-mentioned acts of defendants Dang Van Vu and Duong Trieu Di were dangerous to society, directly violating the state's monopoly regulations on drug management, and at the same time negatively affecting the local social order.
At the end of the trial, the Trial Panel sentenced defendant Dang Van Vu to 3 years and 6 months in prison and defendant Duong Trieu Di to 3 years and 3 months in prison for the crime of "Organizing illegal use of drugs".
