On July 5, 2025, police in Dong Thap Province, Vietnam, announced the prosecution and residence restriction of Ngo Ngu Yi (aged 28, from Vinh Long Province) for the offense of illegal possession of property. This follows Yi’s refusal to return VND 100 million ($4,200) mistakenly transferred into her account.
According to initial investigations, on November 17, 2024, Yi unexpectedly received VND 100 million in her personal account. Despite knowing the money wasn’t hers and multiple requests from the sender to return it, Yi deliberately refused to do so.
Ignoring the victim’s pleas, Yi also failed to cooperate with the bank and police authorities. She even transferred the entire sum to another account in her name for personal use.
In response to these actions, law enforcement took legal action against Yi. The police also remind citizens to be mindful of such situations and not let greed lead to legal consequences. If one finds themselves in a similar situation, they should promptly inform the bank or report to the nearest police station for guidance on handling the matter legally.
