According to Lao Dong, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Apatit Tam Dinh Lao Cai Investment Joint Stock Company - Mr. Tran Viet Dung - has just signed a decision to temporarily suspend the work of Mr. Pham Van Luong - Deputy General Director and Executive Director of the mine; Le Viet Dung - Head of the General Department and Head of the Compensation and Site Clearance Team (GPMB) and Nguyen Van Truyen - Deputy Head of the General Department and Deputy Head of the GPMB Compensation Team.
The reason given is to " process the complaint" of Mr. Vu Cuong Linh, a shareholder and a member of the Board of Directors of this company.
According to Mr. Linh's complaint, the above 3 officials, during the process of performing compensation and site clearance statistics at the Apatit Tam Dinh Mining Project, abused their positions and powers, colluding with each other and with a number of households to deposit large-value records. This behavior directly appropriated the company's assets and indirectly affected State assets.

On July 5, speaking with Lao Dong, Mr. Pham Van Luong confirmed the above information. However, he completely denied all accusations, saying that he was slandered and harmed.
"The Company's Legal Department had a working session and took all my statements as well as my evidence. I also filed a complaint with the provincial police. I affirm that I did not do anything wrong. I was slandered and harmed, for trying to report and prevent unusual acts in the trading of ores by some individuals here, said Mr. Luong.
Mr. Nguyen Van Truyen also informed: he himself is the Head of the Security Team, and has repeatedly discovered and prevented ore trucks with suspicious signs from leaving the site. However, this caused him many troubles and culminated with a slander that led to his suspension of this job.
It is known that due to the lack of a General Director for a long time, Mr. Pham Van Luong's position as Deputy General Director and Management Director of the mine can be considered the highest executive position of the company, only under the Board of Directors.
Currently, Mr. Vu Cuong Linh has been transferred to the position of Head of the GPMB Team, replacing Mr. Le Viet Dung.
