The Investigation Police Agency of the Ministry of Public Security has just completed its conclusion, proposing to prosecute 41 defendants in the case that occurred at Phuc Son Group Joint Stock Company and related provinces.
Among them, Ms. Hoang Thi Thuy Lan - former Secretary of Vinh Phuc Provincial Party Committee - was proposed to be prosecuted for the crime of "Receiving bribes".
In the 3 times receiving money from Phuc Son Group, once in the early morning of March 19, 2021, Ms. Lan called Nguyen Van Hau (aka Hau "fireworks") to her private home and said "I have a job, prepare 1 million USD for her immediately" and raised a finger pointing to her right hand.
Mr. Le Duy Thanh - former Chairman of Vinh Phuc province also received 4 times, a total of 20 billion VND and 1.3 million USD.
Hau also gave Mr. Pham Hoang Anh 5 times from the time he was Director of the Department of Construction to the time he was Permanent Deputy Secretary of the Vinh Phuc Provincial Party Committee, the amount of 5.4 billion VND and 700,000 USD.
For just one Cho Unit project, the three leaders of Vinh Phuc province received more than 50 billion VND and 3 million USD from the enterprise.
Regarding the case, Nguyen Van Khuoc - Vice Chairman of Vinh Phuc Province - was temporarily detained on charges of receiving money from Hau "favorite" to facilitate the calculation of land use fees in favor of Thang Long Real Estate Company.
It can be seen that the leaders of Vinh Phuc province, from the Secretary to the Chairman of the province, the Vice Chairman of the province to the director of the department, all are involved in receiving money from enterprises to serve the interests of the group.
With an interest group, including those with the highest authority in the province, they are no longer afraid of anyone. All agreed to commit the crime, they wanted to cover the sky, but they did not expect "the sky net to be vast, although small, it would be difficult to escape".
Reviewing some recent major cases, there have been many cases where secretaries, chairmen, vice chairmen and department directors of a locality have all been involved in fraud, receiving tens of billions of VND from businesses. They thought that if a whole "team" of the entire "provincial head" coordinated to carry out an operation, no one would detect it.
As a leader, if you put a finger on and have 1 million USD, you will "impute the temptation" sooner or later.
