According to the reporter's investigation, since the beginning of 2025, people and some press agencies have reported on the activities of the illegal market in Vu Ninh ward (Bac Ninh city, Bac Ninh province) on a large scale, up to hundreds of "stalls", with trucks entering and exiting to trade busily.
At this market, selling "bills" every month is estimated to bring illegal profits to some individuals that can be up to billions of VND.
The temporary market has been in operation for many months, causing many consequences and frustration.
It is known that the People's Committee of Vu Ninh Ward has issued 3 notices requesting to stop operations and gather at a market in this area. However, this temporary market has been in operation for a long time.
According to the investigation, the illegal market land of about 16,000 m2 belongs to Duong Bao Minh Company Limited (headquartered at 170 Nguyen Gia Thieu, Suoi Hoa ward, Bac Ninh city, Bac Ninh province) to implement a project to invest in farms, perennial crops, combined with agricultural tourism.
In early 2024, Duong Bao Minh Company Limited leased a address in Pho Moi town (Que Vo town, Bac Ninh province) to Mr. Nguyen Van Tung as a parking lot.
However, since the end of 2024, Mr. Tung has arbitrarily changed the purpose of use, allowing people to go to the market.
After the press's reflection, the People's Committee of Bac Ninh province recently issued a document introducing the location for the 8.6-hectare market project in Bac Ninh city.
It is known that currently, the demand for wholesale of agricultural products in the locality is quite large. Therefore, it is necessary to soon implement the construction of a market project in Bac Ninh city.
