On the morning of March 13, speaking with a reporter from Lao Dong Newspaper, an official of the Department of Finance of Ha Tinh province said that the Disciplinary Council of the Department of Finance had just met and issued a disciplinary measure against Mr. Tran Danh T - an officer of the Inspection Department (the person who made a report negatively about the merger of provinces).
At the meeting, Mr. Tran Danh T admitted that his behavior was offensive and impolite, so he asked to accept disciplinary reprimand, and pledged not to repeat the offense.
"After conducting a secret ballot, the proposed form of discipline is a reprimand. This morning, we submitted the dossier for the Director to sign and issue a disciplinary decision in the form of a reprimand - the officer of the Ha Tinh Department of Finance shared.
With the proposed disciplinary reprimand, the Department of Finance officer said that it was based on current regulations.
According to the Ha Tinh Department of Finance, Mr. Tran Danh T is not a Party member and is not married.
As Lao Dong reported, on March 8, the Department of Cyber Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention, Ha Tinh Provincial Police decided to fine Tran Danh T (born in 1991, residing in Van Yen Ward, Ha Tinh City) 7.5 million VND for using a Tiktok account to comment on obscene content and local discrimination.
The authorities determined that on March 6, Mr. T went to the social network Tiktok and saw a post by the Tiktok account "Hieu Vu Trung" related to the policy of arranging provincial-level administrative units, in which there were many comments comparing the development and socio-economic conditions between localities.
During the debate, Tran Danh T commented on some obscene and discriminatory content, causing outrage among the masses.
T's actions violated the law, as stipulated in Point a, Clause 1, Article 101 of Decree No. 15 dated February 3, 2020 of the Government regulating administrative sanctions in the fields of post, telecommunications, radio frequency, information technology, network information security and electronic transactions.
At the meeting with the police, Mr. Tran Danh T admitted his violation, but it stemmed from the anger in the debate, not for other purposes.
The Cyber Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention Department of Ha Tinh Provincial Police has issued a decision to administratively fine Mr. T 7.5 million VND and require the account owner to commit not to repeat the offense.
