In relation to the land-related specialized case in Ba Ria-Vung Tau, according to the investigating authority, besides being proposed for prosecution with three charges of “Fraudulent appropriation of property”, “Forgery of seals, documents of agencies and organizations”, and “Use of fake seals or documents of agencies and organizations” in this case, the mastermind, Nguyen Van Thanh, is also a suspect in four other cases. These cases have been concluded and the dossiers have been transferred to the People’s Procuracy of Ba Ria-Vung Tau province, with a total of 258 fake documents proposed for prosecution.
According to the conclusion, the Investigation Police Agency stated that this case involved multiple subjects, and the accused had a legal understanding, so their activities were very sophisticated and cunning in concealing their criminal acts. The case occurred over a long period, with a large number of forged documents and land areas, making it impossible to investigate and prosecute all the acts in a short time. It requires more time to continue the investigation, prosecute the offenders, prevent criminal offenses from going unpunished, and recover land and assets for the state.

The Investigation Police Agency agreed with the Provincial People’s Procuracy to separate the acts and related documents in the case of Le Thi T. (wife of the accused, Nguyen Van Thanh), and Nguyen Thi K.O. (wife of the accused, Pham Cong Tuyen) regarding signs of fraudulent appropriation of property.
Additionally, several individuals with positions and authority are also under investigation and will be handled according to regulations due to signs of bribery, bribery brokering, and receiving bribes. These individuals were involved in transferring and receiving money with the accused in the case, suspected of being related to criminal activities of fraud, bribery, and money laundering.
The investigating agency also concluded that some individuals were implicated in the case, but there was insufficient basis for criminal handling. Further verification and clarification are needed through coordination with relevant parties, including three judges of the Provincial Court, two provincial police officers, eight party members who received gifts and transferred money with the accused, and four officials from the Natural Resources and Environment sector.
Furthermore, it was discovered that at the end of 2022, Tran Phu Vinh, in his capacity as Chief Inspector of Vung Tau City, received VND 100 million through Nguyen Van Ty from Nguyen Quang Tu. This money was intended for writing two petitions to the People’s Committee of Vung Tau City, requesting land certificates for two land plots totaling more than 50,000m2 for Thanh and Tuyen. During the investigation, there was no basis to prove any personal gain, so no criminal handling was applied. In November 2024, Vinh was arrested and prosecuted for brokering bribery in another case.
In connection with the case, the investigating agency proposed the prosecution of three accomplices who are relatives of Thanh for the crimes of “fraudulent appropriation of property” and “forgery of seals and documents of agencies and organizations”. Pham Cong Tuyen (born 1966, director of a company in Ho Chi Minh City) and Nguyen Dai Nguyen (born 1975, an employee of Tuyen) are proposed to be prosecuted for “Offering bribes”.
The accused who hold positions of authority, including Pham Thi Kim Loan (born 1983), Nguyen Thi Tam (born 1983), Nguyen Quang Tu (born 1977), Nguyen Thi Thanh Huong (born 1978), and Nguyen Thi Thu Ha (born 1976), are proposed to be prosecuted for “Bribery brokering”.
Additionally, Tu is also proposed to be charged with “Money laundering”, Thanh Huong with “Taking advantage of position and authority to influence for personal gain”, and Thu Ha with “Receiving bribes”.
The accused, including Nguyen The Quan (born 1989), Le Phat Dat (born 1974), Dao Viet Anh (born 1983), and Pham Quang Cuong (born 1989), are proposed to be prosecuted for “Fraudulent appropriation of property”. Quan is also proposed to be charged with “Money laundering”, while Ngo Duy Tung (born 1989) and Nguyen Van Ty (born 1984) are proposed to be prosecuted for “Bribery brokering”.
According to the investigation, Thanh and his accomplices forged dossiers for 11 land plots and then sold them to Tuyen for more than VND 174 billion. To complete the remaining steps, Tuyen gave Nguyen VND 45.5 billion to contact individuals with functions and authority to handle the dossiers in a favorable direction.
