This is a result of an expanded investigation into a case of “Usury in civil transactions, illegal transportation of currency across borders, and money laundering” that occurred in cyberspace, which is being handled by the Quang Nam Provincial Security Investigation Agency.
According to the records, the aforementioned accused individuals took advantage of their relationships with business entities and traders in China to illegally transfer money across borders.
The Quang Nam Provincial Security Investigation Agency advises citizens who wish to transfer money from Vietnam to other countries to only use state-licensed agencies and units. Do not go through unlicensed entities that offer quick procedures and low costs, as this may lead to potential fraud.
