As previously reported by Tien Phong , the Ministry of Public Security is expanding its investigation into a case of “Violation of accounting regulations, causing serious consequences” at Hoang Long Investment, Construction, and Human Resource Supply Joint Stock Company (Hoang Long Company) and related units.
The investigation by the Police Department for Corruption, Economy, and Smuggling (C03) of the Ministry of Public Security revealed that Mr. Nguyen Ba Hoan, former Deputy Minister of Labor, Invalids, and Social Affairs (MOLISA, now the Ministry of Home Affairs), had instructed the Overseas Labor Management Department to issue “permits” (beyond legal requirements) for labor export contracts. This created obstacles and difficulties for enterprises, forcing them to meet and bribe leaders of the MOLISA and the Overseas Labor Management Department.
The bribe money came from enterprises abusing their permission to organize labor exports, imposing excessive service fees on laborers, and appropriating their money.
The Ministry of Public Security issued a supplementary decision to initiate a criminal case for “Taking Bribes” and prosecute the following individuals: Mr. Nguyen Ba Hoan, former Deputy Minister of MOLISA; Mr. Tong Hai Nam, former Director; Mr. Nguyen Gia Liem, former Deputy Director; and Mr. Pham Viet Huong, former Deputy Director of the Overseas Labor Management Department, for “Taking Bribes,” as stipulated in Article 354 of the Penal Code. Mr. Pham Viet Huong is prohibited from leaving his place of residence, while the other three suspects are temporarily detained.
