The Criminal Police Department of Da Nang City has issued an arrest warrant for Nguyen Ngoc Thanh (born in 1981, residing at 47 Trung Nhi, Hai Chau District, Da Nang City) on charges of “Fraud to Appropriate Property.”
Previously, on April 22nd, the Investigative Police Agency of Da Nang City received a criminal complaint from Ms. H.T.K (born in 1989, residing on Tran Bach Dang Street, Ngu Hanh Son District, Da Nang City), accusing Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Thanh of defrauding her of 5.89 billion VND through the sale of land in the non-existent “Cella Central” project.
Nguyen Ngoc Thanh arrested
During the investigation, authorities determined that in August 2022, Ms. K visited Y An Khang Joint Stock Company (2/9 Street, Hoa Cuong Ward, Da Nang City) and met with Thanh. Thanh falsely claimed to be the CEO of the company and offered Ms. K a plot of land numbered 16, with an area of 98m², at a price of 68.5 million VND per m².
On October 31, 2022, Thanh arranged a meeting with Ms. K to sign a “Commitment Contract for Transfer of Cella Central Land Foundation.” After signing, Ms. K transferred funds to Thanh according to the payment schedule outlined in the contract.
Trusting Thanh’s documents and commitments, Ms. K transferred a total of 5.8 billion VND into the accounts provided by Thanh. However, when the time came to sign the land use rights transfer contract, Thanh repeatedly delayed, citing the reason that “the land book had not been issued yet.”
By September 2023, Ms. K discovered that the land plot was mortgaged to a bank and had been temporarily suspended from transactions by a court order. Shockingly, she also found out that the Cella Central project introduced by Nguyen Ngoc Thanh did not exist.
The case is currently under further investigation by the Da Nang City Police.
