On January 6th, the An Giang Provincial Police Investigation Agency announced the prosecution of a case, the indictment of suspects, and the issuance of temporary detention orders for Vũ Văn Đức (born in 2003, residing in Song Nga village, Hà Long commune, Thanh Hóa province); Trần Thanh Nghĩa (born in 1999, residing in Phước Trung hamlet, Thạnh Lộc commune, An Giang province); and Dương Chí Công (born in 1999, residing in Phước Thành Lập hamlet, Gò Quao commune, An Giang province). They are charged with “Abuse of Power or Position to Appropriate Property.”
According to the investigation, the three suspects were contracted employees of Vinpearl Joint Stock Company (part of the VinWonders Phú Quốc department) assigned to ticket control duties at the automatic gates of the VinWonders amusement park.
The three indicted suspects.
Exploiting loopholes in the ticket control process at the entrance gates, the suspects used their personal phones to capture QR codes of groups of three or more visitors. Each scan typically allows only one visitor to pass through the gate. However, the suspects would manually hold the gate’s rotating arm to prevent it from completing its cycle, allowing subsequent visitors to enter without additional scans.
The captured QR codes, which had not yet been scanned, were sent via Zalo accounts to accomplices outside the park, who sold them at prices lower than the company’s rates. This scheme resulted in a loss of over 1.7 billion VND for the company.
