On September 1st, Ho Chi Minh City police announced that they are expanding their investigation into a fraud case perpetrated by Nguyen Minh Thai (born 2003, residing in Khanh Hoi ward, Ho Chi Minh City).
The police have called on Duong Cong Thuan (born 1974, residing in Vinh Hoi ward, Ho Chi Minh City) to turn himself in and receive lenient treatment under the law.
According to the Ho Chi Minh City police, in October 2023, Thai was released from prison and struggled to find stable employment, leading him to devise a scheme to illegally obtain money.
Ho Chi Minh City police have detained Nguyen Minh Thai and urged Duong Cong Thuan to turn himself in.
Thai became acquainted with Thuan, who suggested creating a fake identity card with another person’s information to apply for bank loans. Thuan provided Thai with an identity card under the name of Nguyen Huu Tien (born 2000, from Tien Giang province), but the photo on the card was of Thai.
The group then contacted several individuals to prepare for a loan application at a Ho Chi Minh City bank. The loan application in Nguyen Huu Tien’s name was approved, and the group successfully obtained and divided 89 million VND among themselves.
The investigation has revealed the involvement of multiple bank employees in facilitating the loan application process, and the police are working to identify and question these individuals.
Nguyen Minh Thai has been arrested and charged with fraud. The Ho Chi Minh City police are urging Duong Cong Thuan to come forward and are asking anyone with information on his whereabouts to contact them at 96 Vo Van Kiet, Ben Thanh ward, Ho Chi Minh City, or reach out to investigator Nguyen Hoang Minh at 0938.987.966.
